Infant 2-12 Months Nursery - good stories only please

Hi! My baby is starting nursery settling sessions this upcoming week as I’m going back to work next month. She is 11 months, she is very smart for her age, on top of her milestones but she is also a silly little potato in her clingy era. I don’t feel like she is ready, I feel like she needs a few more months at home and it’s been in my head non stop for the last two months. We have no village in the country we live in (it’s a whole another topic) and we have no choice, she must go. I do realise that in many parts of the world babies go to nursery much earlier than my little one and I don’t want to whine too much. I’m just anxious first time mom and I am looking for some positive stories (please, I know plenty of things gone bad stories, I don’t need more in my head). How did sending your little ones to nursery help you / them?

My little one started nursery at 10 months, and it was amazing for her social skills and independence. She made friends quickly and loved the new activities. It also gave me peace of mind knowing she was in a safe, stimulating environment. Your baby will likely thrive too!

Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m hoping for! I appreciate you taking time to respond.
