My 4 year old is starting primary 1 in August. He has been going to a private nursery since he was 9 months old for 9 hours a day (3 days a week) and I've never had any issues with him going in etc. he has his friends and he is sociable but these friends aren't going to school with him.
We have had school visits the past couple of months and he cries at every one of these visits where I've had to leave him for an hour or so. It's breaking my heart and I'm now absolutely dreading him starting school. He can be strange in new situations, for example kids club on holiday he begged us to go but then we had a phone call saying he was crying for me. Please please tell me it gets easier and they settle easy, I need some reassurance because I'm genuinely thinking the worst and I hate thinking of him being upset when I'm not there.
