Even though we know in our heart they'll be fine (why would we leave them in school at all if we didn't think that?!) we still worry and hope to goodness that the teachers will take care of them. I cried on Amy's first day at school but she was absolutely fine.

As I said, I've learned to trust them and so far I've not been disappointed. Thanks for your constant support and benefit of your experience Gillian.

By the time Dani started, there were almost enough children (over 30) to split them into two classes, but not quite. His birthday is in October, so he wasn't yet three and some of the kids were nearly six. There were two assistants to help the nursery teacher and although I was quite worried, it was absolutely fine. The teacher always made sure that the activities were age appropriate for each age group. It was nice to have both my boys in one class.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355742999115754680noreply@blogger.com
