Doesn't want to go to nursery - is there a problem?

My 2yr 2 month old has recently started talking in sentences and has started saying she doesn't want to go to nursery when we talk about her going. She's been going there since she was one and a half and I thought she enjoyed it, but now I'm wondering.

I don't know whether she just enjoys home more or is just exercising her will or that she's ready to go to the next age room but they don't have spaces till july (which I'm unhappy about anyway). What if there's a real problem? her keyworker says she seems fine when she's at nursery though.

Generally I really like the nursery.

We ask her why but the why questions seem a bit beyond her still.

Do all 2 year olds do this? Do I need to act on this? what do you do?

Hiya. I can really empathise. Our just turned 3 year old has been going to a nursery for past 6 months or so - on the days I have to work he says "I don't want to go to nursery" in the cutest voice. I think he prefers to be at home (don't we all). Don't let it worry you too much - they are getting to the age where they have opinions and know there are options. Nurserey is good for them and it will be school before too long and we have to send them there whether they like it or not - best they get used to it!
