Nursery at two?

Hi All, I have to register our boy/girl twins who are 13 months with a
local nursery but not sure how many hours to ask for - we were thinking
of sending them at two. I've been getting some help from another mum of
boy/girl twins who are seven now and she said she had to send hers to
nursery at two because it was getting impossible for her to manage on
her own during the day. Does anybody have any idea of what would be a
good length of time for them to go at two? I know I'm gonna feel really
sad sending them but I know it'll probably be really good for them... Thanks!

    My boys are 2.5 years and they go to nursery 3 days a week (8am - 5 or 5.30pm). They started age 1 so I could return to work but if definitely say at this age it works really well. They have a great time. It's enough time for them to be settled at nursery and get to experience lots of activities and make friends. But still gives us 4 days at home together. Hope that helps.

    Hi! Our twinnies are 3 in January but we are sending them to nursery beginning of January. Because we don’t get funding, we are only doing 2 days 9:30 to 12:30. Once we get the funding we will increase it! A lot of nurseries have a minimum time requirement so that needs to be something you take into account as well!
