nursery dilemma

[lisa282]

T has been in the same nursery now for almost 2 years. We have never had any problems with them and he loves it there Yesterday I thought I would mention to them that I would like E to attend as well, in preparation for my return to work in May. However it turns out they already have a waiting list of 5 babies and only have room for 3 of them So I guess I will be looking for alternative childcare for her. I dont mind this, I dont really have much choice about it, but then I am wondering whether to move Tyler with her or not. I dont really want to be rushing between 2 different nurseries to drop them off, plus there is the added bonus of getting a slight discount if both kids are together. BUT do I move him away from a place he is perfectly happy in, for my own benefit? I seriously need to get this sorted now, just in case the other nurseries have limited places, but do I ask for both kids or just leave Tas he is and find a place for E HELP!!! The other thing to consider is that T will be starting school next January, so really I will be disrupting him twice in 12 months if I move his nursery now and then onto school next year. What do I do?

Personally id leave tyler where he is, its less than a years inconienience for you. And you could keep Eden on the waiting list while atteding another nursey as it would be less of a disruption for her

I think it depends on the nursery you find for Eden - you may prefer it for both of them.

If Tyler is happy I'd leave him where he is. Put your daughter on the waiting list and know that it's only a years worth of inconvenience with different care providers....though really if you know your son is happy i'd not think of it as an inconveneience at all. Have a look at different places if you need care for your girl now and see what you think, Tyler could always do a taster session at one you really like and see if he likes it there too. Kids really are adaptable, I grew up with a father in the forces, I went to 14 different schools and it never bothered me and actually taught me some degree of independance from it. Start having a look around, you'll know what's right in the end.
