Ds is 16 months old and I have no plans to put him in nursery. We're at toddler classes, stay and play, soft play, swimming, the park ect. 5-6 days a week so he is around other children a lot and he is very confident and independent. I am a SAHM and see no reason to put him in childcare before he starts school. His dads grandma is always saying how good nursery is for kids and asks if he'll be starting soon. I studied childcare and have seen some bad things in nurseries and it just isn't what I want for my child. If we have another child it won't be until he is 5 or 6 so he will have all of my time until he starts school.
He goes to gymnastics classes which he loves and they do day camps for a few hours in the holidays from 3 years old. That will probably be the first place I will feel comfortable leaving him as he's been there since he was tiny and does amazing there.
