my sons starting nursery and im petrified!!!
I'm thinking of enrolling my son at nursery and i'm so scared! He's nearly 19 and a half months and so far me, his dad and his nan are the only people who have ever looked after him. His dad works days and i work night so we dont have to take him but he gets bored really easily and i thought it would be nice for him to have maybe just an afternoon a week at nursery so he can socialise with other kids. The nursery is the best in my area and has got brilliant ofsted reports but im petrified of leaving him! (am i just being irracional?)

Good luck!
I'm settling my little one in the nursery over the next 2 weeks which is good as I can stay with him and then leave him for an hour and go back and extend the time everytime.
I feel awful for doing it but know its better for us all in the long run!
if he (or you) do find that he's not quite ready for that environment you could always try toddler groups or letting him go round to friends house to play and once he's used to that leaving him there and then his friend can come to you too. i am sure he will really enjoy it - especially if this nursery has such a good reputation - they will have a really caring environment.
best of luck, julesy xx
