No, not the one on the front page of the national press this morning but isn’t she a sweetie?
Rather less fuss made about our 20 month old littlest fella who spent two hours at his new nursery with his mummy yesterday, but will be trying it out for real today.
Thinking of my poor DD who will almost certainly suffer more than her little man shock
(Will Kate go home crying too?)

My two grandsons had to go to day care in their turn when their mum's maternity leave ended, (about a year off for each.)

DGS1 took ages to settle. It appears his little brother was a bit tearful on the first couple of days then more or less bounced in without a backwards glance. Both his parents admitted they felt slightly nose out of joint at that.
However the little one was then used to the place by going in with parents to collect the older one.

They had a very good nursery, it was run as a non profit making trust and it had an Outstanding Offstead rating.

That was also chosen to be convenient to parents picking the boys up by either parent and the bus stops depending on DDs shifts.
