My 3 Yr old dd is in pre nursery. This is her second full week, would have been three but we had covid last week.
She's in pre nursery from 9-3. She had a few days were she was upset, crying that she didn't want to go. Anyway that stopped after the first week but the last few days she's been saying the other children don't play with her. She just told me, sounding soo sad that she doesn't want to go tomarrow has the other children don't like her, that they won't play with her. It was heartbreaking.
They put up a photo of her on the school app, of her doing a card and she just looked sooo sad.
I'm not sure what I can do to help her. I was thinking of talking to her teacher and asking how she is with the other childen. She is soo much fun and loves to play, but she very much wants her way and is not the greatest at sharing. She's did attend a morning session of nursery and she had a few friends there, that she loved to talk about.

Yes, of course speak to the staff.
Say you are concerned she might be struggling to settle, and say that you know she isn't keen on sharing and that she likes to get her own way so you are a little worried about how she is able to get on.
As you say 'Pre-Nursery, I assume she is either 2 or 3. It really is a normal stage for dc to begin to be learning about taking turns and compromising a little bit. All the dc in the room will be somewhere around that stage. It isn't anything to worry about, and the staff will be entirely used to working with children just beginning to learn how o do that. Equally, they will be very much used to parents being worried when they first leave their dc and will consider communicating with parents to be very much part of their role too. Smile

This morning, unprompted she was saying the other children don't share with her and that she doesn't share. I just spoke with her teacher. Who said that's she's settled really well and is always playing with a few of the children. Perhaps she's finding the bickering over sharing hard, I know sharing is something she has to learn and better now than later.
