What If My Child Is Upset at Being Left?
Some children do go through this phase, which may be when they first start nursery or some weeks or even months later. More often than not an unhappy child is happy and smiling before the parent gets to the gate. Try having positive attitude; telling them what a good time they will have and that they will be collected later.
A brief good bye will give them less time to think about being upset / left. Do not worry, (we know that is easier said than done) but believe us when we say “they will soon be smiling and having fun”.
If you are still worried when you get home / to work, please telephone us to see how your child has settled down. The nursery will always telephone the parent or the emergency contact should any problems arise.
