Hi. We have a 7 month old Son and both feel that it would benefit him to spend some time at nursery. We have found a nursery and have started visiting for an hour for the last 2 days (I've stayed with him so far). Eventually we'll build up to him attending for 1 day per week.
During the visits I've noticed how quiet it is and I wonder if it's normal for a nursery to be so quiet. I expected it to be much more fun.
It's a small building with about 7 pre school kids, 3 babies under 1 and 3 kids between 1-2 years old.
Today we were in a room with the 1-2 year olds and they were just going about the room messing with toys, they were always being watched and the carer would talk to them but it was all very calm and sedate (it almost felt like they were talking to them but not really interacting with them.
Whereas when I'm at home with my boy we're always acting stupid and giggling etc. I haven't heard any singing or laughing as I expected. I understand that kids can't be hyper all the time but the more I think about it, the more I feel that we may not have made the right decision.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks in advance
