My nursery don't have a standard 'settling-in' period for new arrivals and are expecting me to take a lead. DD is my first baby though, so I'm at a bit of a loss to know what to do for the best.
I have the luxury of time though, as they wouldn't let me move my start date without forfeiting the place, so I have a whole month that will be paid for before I go back to work. They say as long as I let them know in advance when I want her to go in during that month (hours/mornings/afternoons/full days etc), then that's fine.
So - I am hoping some of you experienced Mumsnetters will be able to offer some advice. I'm worried that if I drag it all out too long, DD might find it more upsetting, but if I cut it too short, ditto... does that make any sense?
Also not looking forward to leaving her AT ALL, but that's a totally different story! Keep getting quite weepy about it in fact. Ah, the joys of hormones, eh?
