What is your view on childcare from grandparents versus nursery for a one year old?
I'm returning to work 3 days in March. My mum (who lives 20 miles away) is keen to look after my son for all three days but Im keen for him to also have exposure to a nursery (as well as having some grandparent time) so that he has variety and gets use to being around other children.
I also have the complication of my partner working from home a lot so it wouldn't be ideal to have our son in the house too much with all the noise etc
My family are saying that it's cruel to send a one year old to nursery even for a couple of days and that nobody would chose that if they had the option of a grandparent to look after them
Would appreciate any thoughts
