I was hesitant too but give it a go.
I was also that parent who thought hard and long about the cost, uncertainty and everything else that comes with joining a child at nursery for the first time. But, with trust, time and patience, it all becomes worth the wait.
Busy Bees at Manton Lane, have such wonderful, friendly staff that are always accommodating the needs of our little one! Staff update the parental app throughout the day and encourage great eating habits - they are more than happy to provide extra feedback if parents are anxious (particularly at the early stages of joining!). A range of activities are scheduled throughout the weeks - my little boy loves playing in the water/sand and attending his weekly music/dance class within the nursery! He is exploring more and more each day and absolutely loves spending time with everyone there. He has picked up on socialising and talking more and is able to express himself much better since starting.
Took roughly 4 weeks to settle in properly.
