We moved to a new area prior to the birth of DD (3.5y) and I naively expected that it would be quite easy to find other mum's friends once the baby phase was over. Sure, we met two families through meet up and park but I've had absolutely zero interaction with other parents at the nursery. I hear my colleagues from other areas of London speaking about Whatsapp groups and even travels (!) together with families they met in nursery. Is this the norm? For context our nursery is quite diverse with 80% of the children being from an Asian background, and us being from a European one - but I would like to think that this should not have an influence? We are looking to move again prior to DD starting school and the lack of network is a big reason, but I worry that we would just end up in the same situation.

I never had any interaction with other parents when mine were at nursery. I just dropped off and picked up. I did make friends when mine started school though.

Hi op same as other poster made friends once they started school. We still in touch and kids are 18 now. Early years are isolating as they dropping kids then going to work. Its hard. So you dont get to know people.
