two year old unhappy about going to nursery - should I persevere?

[Beesmummy]

My two year old dd (born Feb) started going to nursery this January and loved it at first but has just started saying she hates it, doesn't like the lady who runs it and the 'boys are meanies'. She cries when I take her and clings onto me like a monkey. This has been going on for three weeks (she goes twice a week) and I am sure has something to do with dd2 being born a month ago.
I am half inclined just to give up until September or something - she is only just two for gawds sake, so hardly needs to go to nursery, I was just doing it because I thought it would give me a bit of time to sleep and bond with dd2.
But should I give in now? Or do you think she will get over it if I just keep sending her?
I feel guilty enough as it is, with her having to suddenly 'share' her mummy and I don't have nearly as much time for her now I am constantly tired and breastfeeding. I really don't want to send her and am dreading this afternoon when I know she will cry again.
But I also realise I am being pathetic, and if I was a working mum she would just have to get on with it.
AARGH. Sorry for long post.
If I do carry on sending her, could someone tell me the best way to leave her, ie quickly say goodbye, or stay with her a bit longer to reassure her, etc??
thanks for any advice!

Ds (2.5) was a bit like this. After seeming to like it for a few weeks he started screaming that he didn't want to go, clinging to the doors on the way out of the house. It was really very distressing and, like you, I felt that he shouldn't have to go yet if he hated it. But I also didn't want to give up too soon and I didn't want to undermine his first experiences away from me. So I told him I wouldn't leave him if he wasn't happy and stayed with him for half the session one day, then half an hour the next. He only goes two days a week and by the next week he was fine.

Do the boys bully or hit her? Dd complained to me that the boys at her nursery hit her - but I didn't know about it until she had left - did explain a few things though. Perhpas you could talk to the lady in charge and check that they are not bullying her and if they are that it is being dealt with.

Ds wasn't keen at first but after a few weeks couldn't wait to get there - not sure what that said about being at home with me instead

What's she like when you pick her up? Can you watch her from a distance before she knows you're there? DS still cries a bit when I drop him off - he's almost 3 and has been going for 4 months - but he's always quite happy when I pick him up.

Picked her up today and she seemed fine - apparently she hadn't cried at all after I left and played with the other children, ate her tea etc.
I was going to finish it today, but now I think I will keep sending her for a few more times and see how it goes.
Isn't it agony though - first time I have had this kind of problem and I have shocked myself how much it hurts me.
If those boys ARE bullying her, I would be SUCH a mother tiger!
