Why would you keep driving back and forth to nursery because your child wants to go back for another hug. Wouldn’t you just say, you’ve said good bye already, we’re not going back.
My daughter starts reception in a September too, she finished nursery last Friday, yes I felt a little bit sad that she’s growing up, but also excited for her. Her nursery is the one at the school she’s going to, so probably not quite the same, but even so! I certainly didn’t feel the need to spend £65 on a present for her!
