A nursery home is where parents could leave their child at age of 3 mos and above for caring and education as well. It is a substitute for a nanny since it caters to child care and development programs, while the parents are doing their works or errands.

It depends on a lot. If you need to work. If you can afford to pay for the nursery and still make it worth working. Money wise. The baby might get colds a little more often but it will build up a better immune system for later in life. It's great for social skills but you have to be real careful with the staff. Sometimes you get caregivers that are there just for the paycheck. If you use a nursery do some suprise visits. Least expected times and see how your child is. Also count diapers make sure the baby is getting changed. Take note of any changes marks etc in your child. If the baby crys more then usual when going there -It could signal an issue. No matter what Go with your gut feeling. If you have a doubt don't do it. If something tells you it's not right don't make the baby go back. Best of Luck. It'll be ok either way but just watch real close & do some research.

No. Well, I am an Engineer, and now being a stay at home mom since pregnant of my first child who is now 3-1/2 y.o. We take him to playschool twice a week. We also have a 2 y.o. and a third guy on the way, and thanks God my husband's salary is enough to support the family so we can afford me to stay at home with the kids. If that weren't that way, I would leave our children in a daycare only if I really needed to work, but my career is not a priority over my family. I'm planning to go back to work when our youngest one starts school.
I have nothing against day cares and nurseries, nor parents who have to use them, but we think that there is not better way to grow a child that with their parents.

Consider this. Your wife is at the nursery, and on the monitor she hears a thud and then nothing else. There is no crying, so everything is ok right? Or, could it be that the very mobile 8 month old has climbed over the side of his bed and hit his head on the floor. Now he is unconscious. If that is the case, is 10 or 15 minutes to far away? I think it is. I know my children can get out of their bed, when the monitor is on, and I don't know they are there until I turn around and they are standing in the hall way. Please don't do that. If nothing else, ask a neighbor if she could come have her morning coffee at your house while your wife runs to the nursery.

I used to. My kids went to daycare when my son was 9 months to 20 months and my daughter was 3 yrs to almost 5. They both loved it. They learned a lot too. We moved to a different state and my husband makes enough for me to stay home, so I have been home with them since then. They are 5 and 7 now. Next year I will be getting a job when my son starts kindergarten. There's good points and bad ones, just like there is with everything else. Over all I had a positive experience with it.

I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old and I honestly don't believe in day cares. I would pick a nanny first but would rather wait till my children are at least preschool age over the standard daycare. My husband's motto is that our children won't be in daycare or preschool until they can talk and no longer require diaper changes. It is hard to trust anyone with our little ones nowdays and we want to play it safe.

I will and did. I also worked at a Child Care Center. As long as it is a good place. My daughter has been in day care since she was a little younger then 3 months (by a few days). And befor anyone throws a fit I am a single mom who was working then I went to school.

Nope, my family is poor but I will still not leave my kid with some joe blow to make a few bucks just to pay for the day care. Sorry but I don't trust anyone with my child, she is young and too trusting of just about everyone. I am a stay home mom and my hubby works full time making not nearly enough for comfort.

My daughter is in daycare now. She's started at 12 weeks and she LOVES it. We just tell her she's going to school. She's almost 2 and can count to 10 in English & Spanish. Knows most of her colors, speaks above age level. I don't see what's wrong with it.

Just make sure your talk to your child before the day begins and after. It shouldn't be too bad, with other kids around, it should just be social enjoyment. Look for references and find out exactly WHO is going to be on duty-meet them and get the feel of them. Good luck. (talk to other parents as well if possible)

nope because you don't know if they are really taking care of your child or not, and there are a lot of children there in which your child may not get the attention that she deserves. i' will just tell my husband that we will take turns in taking care of our child if we cant afford for a nanny
