Hi can I have a private post please.
My daughter (3yo) started nursery last week and everything’s been fine apart from today. I picked her up and she was sat on her own while everyone else was sat together. Walking home and I asked who she’s played with and she said ‘no one they don’t like me and won’t play with me’. Then she started crying!!
Yesterday she was fine telling me about a girl she was playing with but today she’s heartbroken.
I don’t have any friends with the same age children all younger or older but she gets on fine with them. I know she hasn’t really mixed with kids her age and I feel awful that I’ve not made a special effort to make sure she does mix with them..
Its all new to me and I don’t know if I’m over reacting by talking to the teacher about it?
Any advice would be really appreciated!!
Thanks x

Yeah ask the nursery, I recently went on mat leave from a nursery and if I ever saw a child alone I would always try and encourage the other children to let them join in which 9 times out of 10 works. It does break your heart and it broke mine even though they were not my kids, but as a nursery worker you want the best for the children and don’t want to see them upset.
There is nothing wrong with raising your concerns with the teacher/key worker. I wouldn’t worry about it too much, my little girl comes out of school miserable one day cause no one plays with her or they have fallen out, the next day I’ll ask and they are best friends again. Just part of being a kid x
Talk to the teacher but I honestly wouldn’t worry and don’t feel bad. She’s only been there a little over a week. It’ll take her time to adjust. Maybe the kids didn’t want to play what she wanted to play.
Talk to the staff about any concerns you have BUT sadly, children do fall in & out of friendship quite easily at this age (best friends this week, worst enemy next week, back to friends the week after.. )
Hun honestly i would worry, partnes neice came to iurs a 6 years old and said that she fallen out with her friend cos her friend stole her boyfriend (i know right 😂) the next week she came over and said they were friends again and sharing her boyfriend 😂😂😂 xx
Teachers/assistants are there for you to raise your concerns
I would maybe ask them to keep an extra eye on her tomorrow and see if they can help to encourage her and the others to play together xx
You could see if the nursery do a stay and play session, you could stay and play (if possible) and also encourage her to make friendships, you could also see how the other children interact with your daughter too. It takes a while for friendships to be made, but encouragement wouldn’t hurt ☺️ also mention it to the teachers, they can encourage children to play together x
It’s probably just today kids have no concept of time and will be devastated one but fine the next ask her teacher if she’s noticed anything
My daughter is 4 and always says she plays on her own and has no friends, but after speaking to her nursery that’s not the case. Ask the teachers what the see and go from there
Speak to the teacher and they will include her as much as possible dont just leave it if your concerned
Always talk to the teacher xx
