I've also posted this in the nursery thread, but thought that this might be a better place. Anyway, any help appreciated!
Due to an unavoidable move, we have to take my 2 DCs out of their current wonderful nursery to a new one (120 miles away). I'm not too worried about my youngest as he'll be at the new place for a couple of years, but my daughter is due to start school in Sept so will only be there a couple of months. She is a little bit shy and I'm worried that this move will be hugely stressful for her and that she wont be happy in the new nursery (even though I think it is friendly and lovely). So, I was after some advice - has any one got any ideas how we can make this move easier for her, or to tell me not to worry so much! One idea I had was to ask nursery if I could contact the other parents to see if I could arrange play dates with some of the kids in her class on the days she's not at nursery to try and help build new friendships. I dont know if this is something that is a normal thing to do, or a crazy parent thing to do which would make the nursery staff think I was mad. Anyway, any other ideas?
And if anyone happens to have a daughter at Dolphin nursery in Kingston and fancies a play date with my DD (she's 4) then please let me know
