Hi all,
Looking for some advice/reassurance. My DD is 2.5 years old and attended the most wonderful nursery where we used to live from 10 months until we moved in September. Our move to the other side of London all happened quite quickly and as lots of nursery’s take on kids at 2 in September when we moved, all of the nurseries around us had no space. The only nursery I found was a good hour round trip walking or on the bus in rush hour traffic which added to a commute to work is a slog. It seemed nice, has nice facilities etc but she’s found it really hard to settle and I’ve been on the whole quite unimpressed with the staff, have heard them shout at the kids and that kind of thing when I’ve arrived early and it just generally seems chaotic. My daughter still cries when I drop her nearly 3 months on and never cried at her old place.
One of the nurseries round us got in contact as a place has become available, I went to see it and its not all bells and whistles but I got a better vibe. The staff seem a bit older and more on it than her current place and obviously logistically it’s better. I’ve booked her to start in Jan but now I’m terrified I’m going to really unsettle her even more moving her again and of course no guarantee this one will work out.
Not really sure what I’m looking for. I guess to see if anyone has had to move their child a couple of times and it’s been ok?
