Hey Rosehannah, no he hasn't really stayed with other people at all, but he's very self confident, so I felt he would be okay.

Today was his first day there, I just have a good gut feeling about the place, and he was happy when I left and happy when I got there to pick him up, and best of all, the 2 other boys there are within 6months of his age group so they are little matey's already!!!

It's so scary to take a chance and make the leap to put kids in care, but I feel a good first day is a great start!!!

I'll post back on how he goes once he;s been there for a while!

Thanks all so much for your replies, it really helped put my mind at ease!
