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.

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
