New nursery

Adam (who’ll be 3 in February) started his new nursery today. He’s been going for 3 days a week so that both Anne and I can work, and he’s really loved it. Which made it hard when they announced at the start of December that the nursery would close at the end of the year. (The nursery was in the parish-church hall, and they had hoped to buy the hall from the church. However, they were eventually unable to reach an agreement for that, with the church unwilling to sell outright. But the loss of the income the nursery generated means that the church will probably have to sell it now. Go figure!)
Anyhow, after the usual panic (“How will we cope?” “Will one of us have to stop working to look after him?” And “someone” here would pretty much have to be me because I’m a freelancer rather than a teacher, as Anne is), we found that the local primary school has a nursery with places, and costs about half as much as the nursery Adam was at – although it lets children in at an older age.
So, this morning, we were slightly worried about how Adam would take it. But we needn’t have worried – he didn’t bat an eyelid when I dropped him off at 11:30 (oh yes, that’s the other problem with this nursery!) and was also fine when we picked him up this afternoon. Which was nice :-)
