Changing nurseries/attending two at once short term

[wildstrawberryplace]

DS currently goes to 2 morning sessions at a nursery, I've been looking around at new nuseries because I have reservations about this one, esp for preschool.

It seems that I may be able to get one morning a week at my preferred nursery, which could lead to a full time (well, 5 mornings or afternoons )pre school place in Sept which I really want - the new place is great and just what DS needs.

I would like him to attend the new nursery one morning a week while we are "working out his notice" at the current one (2 -4 weeks). The day the new nusery can offer me is Friday, but I have a regular tuition on a course on one of the other mornings and would need the notice period to make new arrangements.

I was thinking if we called the new one "playschool" or something for the time being so it was not so hard for him...but I don't want him to be adversely affected etc.

He is usually outgoing friendly adaptable and settling him in the current one was a piece of cake, no tears or shyness etc. I think he will cope fine. He is 2.9.

Do nurseries frown on this sort of thing though?

i don't think you should have any trouble. my dd (3 in a couple of weeks) does 1 day at the pre-school attached to ds's school (which is good, but i don't love it) she then does 2 days at a different pre-school which is wonderful. no-one has said anything to me about it, it works fine for us x

When my DS started at the pre-school attached to his current school, he went to the private day nursery he had been at full time for 2 years, every morning, then i collected him in my lunch hour and took him to his pre-school.

No-one commented adversely and he coped well with the transition. We did this for about 2 months then dropped the nursery as i was then on maternity leave and he just went to pre-school.

Thanks - sounds as if it's not a big deal. Good to know.

We do this just now with DS2 and tbh the only problem is when he wants to wear his private nursery uniform. Since he only goes there am and then to preschool it would look a bit silly. Apart from that I'd say it's fine.
