My DD started at nursery for the first time in November (just before 3rd birthday). She's there 2 days a week from 9 to 5 (so I can work). 3 months on and she still cries all morning before go, grizzles about going the day before and screams when I leave her there. She's now started having pooing accidents while she's there - something she's never done since first potty training and generally being quite difficult on the days surrounding the nursery days. If anything I feel it has all got worse over the last month rather than better. I like the nursery and am happy with the way they are with the children but don't know why she wont settle there. She is the youngest in the room (preschool) but she's normally a happy, sociable, confident child.
Do I a/ persevere or b/ look for a nursery where she would go 4 mornings instead? Would that be any better???
is this normal? No other children there seem to have the same problem. And how do I deal with the pooing thing? Ignore? Get cross?
Feeling very dispondant about the whole thing!
Thanks!
