Crying every morning at drop off - reception

[Humptydumpty85]

Today was day 4 of reception and we are still having lots of tears at drop off - it doesn't seem to be getting any better and is really getting me down now! Anyone have any tips or in the same position?

Dd is July born so quite young, seems to enjoy school once she's in but is very upset at leaving me. School aren't great, there's been no transition and we can't walk them to class (covid!!) but to be honest she started this the last term of nursery and since then has cried where ever I leave her - grandparents, swimming, friends house etc so I don't it's particularly anything about school which is the issue 😕

Having to walk herself from the gates is a lot, she surely can’t be the only one getting upset? We’re allowed to take them up to the door and then a familiar adult takes them into class. I’d have a word with the school and see if she can be met by someone so she’s not having to go in all on her own. I have a really confident 4YO and I still think she might struggle in the situation you’re describing.

Update @Humptydumpty85 going through this now.
