by Lucy Moore | 9 August 2024 As a mum of two who has had to do this twice, I can tell you it doesn’t get any easier. After months of being the primary carer for your child, when the day comes and you have to place them in the arms of a stranger, you may be tempted to hand in your notice there and then and take them back home. Sadly, this is not possible and most of us will have to give up our children to nursery staff at some point if we want or have to go back to work.
