How many days a week on average is recommended for a 2.5 year old toddler to go to nursery

I would say two at least, so they have some consistency.

We started for each child with 2 or 3 mornings so there was some consistency in the week. I think 1 session is too long a gap for them to remember.

We finished with 4 mornings (one child) or 3 "days" (9.15-2.45) the other child.

Mine went from 3, mornings (3 hours) per weekday

2 to 3 maybe even half days.

3 mornings/afternoons at least, then up to full days when they're settled imo.

Started my DD at 2, she went 2 mornings (8-12:45) but she never really settled tbh, I think 3 mornings would've been better. She started full time school nursery at 3y4m this past September and settled so well.

Mine did one day a week with no issues…

My 2.5yr old has done 2 days a week since she was 8.5mths old. She absolutely loves nursery.
