PS My lo does like it by the way and does join in now but it took a fair few weeks, she also is a very quiet child when around people she doesnt know, xx

my lo is 2 and a half and started nursery back the beginning of september, its been hard work and really only now has she started enjoying it, I say enjoying it losely as she always looks so sad when I go but she does settle, I always get apprehensive when I pick her up as she either hasnt eaten anything or has been tired and not joined in, perservere, i know its hard BUT it is very good for them to get their own individual behaviours without you being there, good luck hun xxx

My lo is the same, goes to nursery 2 afternoons, but the girls have been really patient with her she cries everytime I leave her but they do say she settles down and joins in with some games but is just a bit insecure there, gonna perserve with it and hopefully in time she will enjoy it and want to go.  I hate leaving her in tears as it just about reduces me to tears myself but just have it in my head that it will benefit her in the next couple o months. 

thank hun, gonna talk to her dad and see what he thinks, feel torn cos i dont like her been upset but then i think that once she gets used to it she'll benift more from it. xxxxxxx

I would be tempted to leave her there. It's only 2 mornings a week and I would think it would be better for her to have some interaction with other children in that environment then non at all. She's going to have to go in a few months anyway and it's better for her to get used to it this way. She may get used to it given more time.

Otherwise you could try a childminder who has other children around. It's a smaller environment for her to get used to. hth

my dd is 2 1/2 in november and started nursery in sept for 2 mornings a week. the first week she loved it. 2nd she was a bit iffy then we went away 3rd. anyway she started back today and she cryed when her dad left her. when i picked her up the teacher said that they dont feel she is getting a lot out of it as she is quite nervous around the other children and prefers 1-1 interaction but they cant obviously do that all morning. i am concerned that its going to knock her confidence and shes not gonna enjoy it come May when its full time and she has to go. the teacher suggested that we see how she is on thurs and if she is upset etc it might be a idea to leave it until after next half term.

what do you all think. would it be better to leave her at it and hope she comes around or is she to young and should i leave it for now?? xxx
