Hi all,


We currently do a nanny-share for 4 days a week and our 2-year old could start at Gumboots potentially just for Fridays. I have heard that nurseries normally recommend at least 2 days a week as 1 day a week makes it difficult for children to settle in at that age.


Does anyone have any experience (both positive and negative) you could share?


Many thanks in advance

Hello Amy. Our daughter changed from 2.5 days per week down to one due to me losing my job when she was 2 plus 3 months. For the first couple of months she would often be upset and clingy whilst there, but when she got a bit more grown up at 2.5 she 'decided' that she wasn't going to cry at nursery any more and she has been confident and happy there ever since.
My son (2.5) only goes to nursery one day a week and really loves it. He's been going to the same nursery since he was 6 months though and he went 3 days a week until he was about 21 months old. Obviously as he was already used to the nursery when he went down to one day a week, that has helped. I can imagine it will be a lot harder for a child who's new to nursery to settle.

    • I didn't say anything was "a fact". I said it was "hardly likely" 🙄 Do you seriously think someone would go out of their way to harm or kill an unusual animal? Even assuming they ever actually saw it? And then you deleted your post. Did you not want people to see what you had said?
