nikcola · 14/09/2004 09:51

gos my spelling is crap

mummytosteven · 14/09/2004 09:54

don't see why the nursery should mind - in everyone's interests if she gets the chance to adjust. should also imagine the nursery must be well used to the college messing students around. absolutely dreadful what they are doing with the timetable! is there anyone who deals with mature students who you could write in and complain to?

Blu · 14/09/2004 09:57

Sounds like hard work - but i guess these are all 'teething problems', worth getting through til it all settles down and becomes familiar. RE the groups - did you tell them you have nursery care for Thu so need to be in the group that has wednesdays as a study day??? I think it will be easier for college to put you in that group than it will for nursery to change days.

Can you call the nursery today and ask if you can take DD down for induction sessions this week?

Good luck with it all...hard work at first, but you'll soon settle down - you're v brave to be doing it.

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:01

i complaned to student support but the are just as crap , the tutors have had 3 months to sort out out timetables and they have left it till not even a week before its so stupid, i ve got enough to worry about with dd starting nursery

motherinferior · 14/09/2004 10:03

Blu's right, tell them in 'don't mess with me' manner that you've got childcare arranged for one day so you need to be in that study group. And agree totally about the nursery induction!

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:04

yeh good idead blu i think ill go in abit early on we (we have another induction day then) and have a word with my tutor about the groups , and ill ring dds nursery this afternoon xxxxxxx

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:05

should dd be on her own or with me when she goes to visit ?

motherinferior · 14/09/2004 10:06

Remember: you're a student there, you have childcare commitments, you've got a full right just to get them to rearrange. Shouldn't be a problem.

motherinferior · 14/09/2004 10:07

Oh, and I'd go with her, saying 'this is where you're going to be while I'm at college, isn't it exciting!' Will she have a 'key worker' who's assigned just to her? If not, can you make sure one person will be there to take care of her when she starts on her own?

Please don't get too upset if she cries

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:09

god i reallly hope she doesnt cry i dont think id be able to live with myself

Blu · 14/09/2004 10:10

If the nursery agree, I think it would be best to go with her and stay for an hour on one day, and then leave her for an hour or so on another day. the nursery will be used to all this - and it isn't in their interests to have an unhappy child all day on Monday!

Could you call you tutor today about the study groups? Otherwise turning up early is a good idea.

Blu · 14/09/2004 10:12

Nik - she MIGHT cry on one day, but anyone will tell you that she will calm down within minutes - probably seconds - of you leaving. And how many times does she cry when she is WITH you? Cries when she doesn't get her way over something she wants to do? And it doesn't ruin her whole day, does it?

motherinferior · 14/09/2004 10:13

Cor, you should meet DD1, talk about Tantrums and Tiaras

motherinferior · 14/09/2004 10:13

We had no fewer than four outbursts this morning!

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:13

i just said to her that " today we are going to get u some stuff for nursery like a new cup and a bag and some new shoes and she looked all puzzled and and i said rember nursery with all the kids and toys your going there soon wile mommy goes to boring collage and she said no im comming with you

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:14

dpoes she cry when you go mi, how old is she ?

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:19

god im so worried i hope she will be ok

motherinferior · 14/09/2004 10:25

Nik, honey, she will be FINE. In any case she's at the age - isn't she coming up for three? - when most kids go to nursery of some sort, really she is.

My two have been at a childminder since they were four months old. Yep, told you I was a crap mummy

littlemissbossy · 14/09/2004 10:26

oh Nikola, please don't worry honey, she'll be fine. Loads of children (including my ds) do cry when they start nursery, but as someones already said, within a couple of minutes the tears stop. She'll quickly get used to it and more importantly, she'll love it! When she comes out of nursery proudly showing off what she's made or painted for you, any tearful starts will soon be forgotten. Good luck for college BTW!

Blu · 14/09/2004 10:32

Whoa, Nikcola, you're getting yourself worked up....stop it right now!
And go out and buy this for her with one of your book tokens!

nikcola · 14/09/2004 10:41

your not a crap mommy mi xxxxxxx god im crying again i really no she will love it im more nervous than her xxx
