  • Hi, my lo started nursery at 18 months and she loves it. She went in two afternoons a wk to start with and she really enjoyed it so she now goes 3 afternoons. It gets her in the company of other children and it wont be as much of a shock for her when she goes to proper nursery at 3 years. If you get working tax credit 80% of private nursery fees are paid for you.

  • I've got a 15month little man and he loves nursery when I take him to the shops or the park and he meets his little nursery friends he makes me well jealous. We've got a tiny tots group too 1 morning a week where all the non working mums/ part time mums go with their under 3's.
    It costs ??1 a morning and is a really good way to meet other mums and for your little one to socialise at the same time as you being there to see how he's getting on and not to have to worry about him being upset at being left like at a nursery.
    You could ask your health visitor if there's any groups like that near you

    Good Luck
