DS had his first settling in session at nursery yesterday. He's 16 months. We viewed a lot of nurseries before choosing this one, and it received a good report, however since we booked him in the manager has changed.
He got very upset when I tried to leave him after staying for a while, and it was horrible. It's quite a large nursery and there were 15 children in his room. The concerns I had were that a couple of the staff members didn't seem that interested - when one was handing out the milk (they were in high chairs) she just put the beakers on the chairs; no "here's your milk" or any chatter. For a while there was just silence in the room but then one of the staff members started singing songs etc. The other two just sat there. I'm just wondering if this is the norm - am I expecting too much for them to be constantly interacting? It was obviously only a snapshot of the day but I would have thought they would have made more effort than usual with me there, not less! I am just not sure how caring they seemed, though none of the children got upset while I was there, this is a good thing, right? My hea dis all over the place, I wish I could give up work I really do but we can't afford it. I just want him to be happy and cared for. I am so worried
