Worried about grandchild starting nursery

Oreo

Remember that you’re a person not just a Mum or a Grandma or a carer.Learn to enjoy time for yourself, a new hobby, joining a club of some kind, and meet friends whenever you can, there’s nothing like a laugh over coffee with friends.
Reorganise the house, decide to change curtains and cushions.
Update your wardrobe and clear out cupboards.

Good advice and from Cabbie21.

How long is a morning session? I found that when DD started at a school nursery (many years ago) the session was only 2.5 hours per day so, as Galaxy says, there was barely time to turn round before pick-up time.
There may be groups that interest you near the nursery.

Do something for you.

Do you have a local u3a? See what groups they have: walking, history, Scrabble, knit and natter, French, recorders, canasta, beer, ambling, Spanish…… these are just some of the groups in my town.

Once he starts school you will be able to volunteer. Schools are always pleased to have parents and grandparents helping with reading etc.
Get your shopping and housework done while he is at nursery so you can spend quality time with him when he's with you.

Good advice Oreo. I’ve just retired and read this applies to me as well.

Once he’s settled in, ask if the school would like any helpers.
Maybe not the nursery but Reception.

You sound like the sort of person that would enjoy that.

Try and meet up with a friend for a coffee on the free days. Or continue with a hobby you’ve not done for a while. Do something just for you and the time you spend with your grandson will be extra special.

Yes that is an option kittylester

Could you find some volunteering that matters to you?

Thank you for your encouraging words Galaxy

Remembering when mine were at nursery, I barely had time to turn around before it was time to pick them up.
Picking up from nursery is a lovely job, you will see them with their friends, listen to what they have done, etc
While they are at nursery treat yourself to a coffee with a friend, or whatever interests you. I think you will be fine. It is just a new stage of your grandchild's life and of yours.
