hate taking dd out of nursery

[JeniN]

have just written a letter to dd's nursery telling them she'll be leaving in a month. She's been going there 3 months and absolutley loves it (she's 8 1/2 months). We've been given a place at dh's workplace nursery which is less than half the price. It's a good nursery, and I feel like we've got to give it a go, but I'm honestly gutted to have to unsettle her by changing nurseries, and I really like the people who look after her at the mo. tell me we're doing the right thing, please

She is obviously a charmingly sociable little lady who will I'm quite sure fit in just as well and enjoy her new nursery just as much as her present one.
You are being sensitive to her present nursery and feel bad for taking her away, but they understand. The bottom line is that they are running a business. A caring business - but a business no less.
Wouldn't it be great if all work places could provide a fantastic nursery for their staff?!
Absolutely you are doing the right thing - stop worrying

that is SO what I needed to hear. She really is a charming sociable little one, too. Thanks Goosey you just made my day a whole lot better

JeniN,

we moved dd1 to our workplace nursery from a perfectly adequate childminder and it's been brilliant, we have never regretted it. Clearly not all workplace nurseries are the same but ours is not only half the price of other local childcare but also far better than our local private nurseries - lovely and caring to the children and to the parents - hope your experience is as good. Agree with Goosey you (and me) are lucky to have a workplace nursery.

Hi JeniN - we had to move ds1 when he was 11 months as we moved to another part of the country. I was worried sick that he wouldn't settle at the new nursery and that he would miss the old one, but he was absolutely fine and not at all unsettled. I think babies are very adaptable at that age and I'm sure she'll be fine.
