Hiya,
My 1 year old has just started nursery. She's attending the same nursery that my eldest attended for 4 years. It's an absolutely lovely nursery. Many of the staff are the same and my 1 year olds key worker is the same as my eldest. I couldn't ask for a better nursery. I could go into why but, rest assured, there are no better ones out there. They have a dark, cosy cot room separate to the play area with white noise so much better than many nurseries.
However, my daughter has been going for a month and is so unsettled. She does 2 x 30 minute naps (she would do 2 hours at home either 1 long nap or two short naps). She's wrecked when I collect her at 5 and clings to me all evening, so tearful. She goes three days a week. I work 3 days and DH works 5 days and can't reduce as he does contract work. I love my job and being a SAHP would make me crazy but I am wrecked with anxiety when she's there. Has anyone had an unsettled child who suddenly started sleeping and being happier? My first was never like this. She settled immediately and slept beautifully. I never ever worried about her. Just looking for experiences from people who had unsettled baby and what worked. Thanks.
