Well monday we are trying DD at family day care (previously was in childcare).

i decided on much advice from girls on BB and others to book her in 2 days a week as she was not good at settling in due to seperation anxiety and shyness.

So i rang FDC today and said i think i want to try 4 hrs a day to start 8-12 then pick her up and bring her home after lunch for her nap (she sleeps 1-5pm at home).

has anyone else done this.... the easing in or do you just drop your baby off cold truky for 9-10 hrs straight?

Also... if she is only there for 4 hours do i only pay for 4 hours (i was too embarressed to ask?)
