My son is 13 months old and is coming into his 3rd month at nursery (3 days a week). He is normally a very happy little boy but seems so unhappy at nursery. He cries when I leave him (I expected this) but is crying when I pick him up too and sometimes his voice his hoarse he's being crying that much.
Some of the problem I think is because I don't trust his key worker. She tells me every day he's had 'a lovely day' but I can tell he hasn't. When I spoke to the manager she said he's fine until he sees the door open and it's not me. So every time someone comes into the room he cries. That doesn't strike me as the behaviour of a boy having 'a lovely time' at nursery.
Some of it might also be that he is extremely curious and mobile but his key worker quite openly said she likes 'quieter' babies. He seems to spend the day trying to keep himself amused and is probably quite bored.
I'm not sure if there is anything I could/should be doing. To be honest, I'm at my wits end. I had to go back to work and dragged out for as long as I could. I am completely miserable at work because I'm so worried about my son and this is a job I used to love.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received before I do something stupid like quit work, storm into nursery and run away with him into the sunset....
