Joss - I know you have decided on a 2 day a week placement but I just wanted to post (for other who might be interested) about my positive experience of sending our DS to CC for 1 day a week. I think it depends on the individual child, rather than the number of days. DS has always seperated from me reasonably well and thoroughly enjoys 1 day of CC, not crying at all. He is happy and settled and always had been. I don't think 2 days is necessary for all children, more depends on the childs personalilty. Actually, as DS doesn't sleep much at CC I would find more than 1 day a week to be detrimental for him. HTH those considering 1 day only. It can be quite fine.
