Mine has wobbles at times, she does a few days where she won’t go in well and then another few days where she’s fine. It will get better, it’s a big change for him, he will get used to it he has gone from being the biggest to the smallest. The best tactic I have is when we arrive I’ll say “look there’s (insert child’s name)” and leave once they are distracted - sometimes it’s just the focus on saying bye that can be hard. But it’s totally normal x
Mine moved up rooms in September and cried for a couple of weeks on drop off. He now walks in happy as can be. My eldest did exactly the same when he moved up rooms when he was at nursery. I wouldn’t worry x
We haven't made the transition to the big room yet but my little ones 'friends' who have already moved up have ALL been the same. With our nursery they can see the baby room and the girls and guys that used to look after them. They are suddenly a little fish in a big pond and the whole learning approach and format of the day is different. A big transition for them so I would expect all toddlers to have a few difficult weeks at drop off. I'm sure as always, your LO stops crying not long after you've left 😊
Our boy is there since mid August and we have been through the same. Even now sometimes they need to distract with some sort of activity or even mrs rachel when really bad as we never leave him there crying. And sometimes he just runs off like we dont exist 🙂. I personally think everytime they move to a different room there is a period of adaptation where they are a bit unsettled. Imagine you start a new job. You would be a bit nervous. Now, imagine you are 22 months old with no idea how to deal with the feelings. I would cry too 🤣
I think it may be an age thing aswell as him adapting to new routines. My daughter has been going to nursery since she was 8.5 months. These past couple of weeks she has been fussy in the morning. In general she’s been quite clingy and only wants me but the crying at drop off is new to me
