A few weeks ago the government produced the results of a survey that encouraged mums to put their child into Nursery Education.....they reported that children in Nursery Education were better at social skills. Another survey published today gives the opposite view, and suggests that sending toddlers to nursery is not such a good idea. Now they are saying that a child benefits from the one-to-one attention from Mum.

The survey was conducted over 3 years and looked at 1000 children.

How confusing it must be for Mums to get conflicting information within such a short space of time.

Surely all children are different......some must relish going to school, while others may initially not be keen. Aren't children little individuals.....?
