[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dropped 8m baby off and she was cuddled by and held by a carer for the first couple of mins or so before she had to set her down in the play area and tend to another baby. I was watching her and she seemed so lost and confused- just sat and stared at her surroundings for a good bit, eyes looked a little glazed (it was loud). Usually when she gets in a new space she immediately gets super excited and starts racing around and exploring without pausing. [b]Is she overstimulated and just too young for group care at this age?[/b] [/quote]

IMO yes, but that may be my anti-daycare bias speaking. I don’t think group care is good for kids until 2 or 3. However, if that’s the only choice (can’t afford a good nanny) then so be it.[/quote]

It’s not my only choice, I just need it very part time and part time nannies are hard to find. It would be inconvenient but not a hardship to pull out. [/quote]

He’s part time? That explains some of it. Part time babies are hard to adjust.[/quote]
