‘This week Tayto had two ‘settling in’ sessions at the nursery she’s due to start at next week. Is it normal to have second thoughts after doing these sessions with your little one? I don’t want her to go anymore.’
‘I know I can’t wrap her up in cotton wool her entire life but what I observed yesterday and today made me worried about leaving her for two whole days a week with other people I don’t know.’

The first time mum continued: ‘I realise the staff take care of children day in, day out and it’s their job to ensure our babies are kept safe, I have to trust them but my anxiety is out of control and I’m now terrified of something bad happening when I’m not there to look out for her.
Kate admitted that she was filled with worries after taking Noa to her settling in session.
She continued: ‘She’s only just able to crawl which even today she found tricky in her puddle suit and boots. She was twatted on the head twice in 30 minutes by another baby pulling a truck, I saw one of the kids take a stone out of his mouth and it was really wet so he’d had it in there a while.’
‘Only when he went to put it back in did I stop him. If he’d have swallowed it, goodness knows what would have happened. What if that was Noa? What if she swallows it and chokes? Yesterday these were hypothetical worries I dismissed but I saw a toddler do it & now I’m spiralling. I don’t know what to do.’

Turning to address her followers, the radio presenter voiced her concerns as she asked fans for their advice.
She added: ‘Do I just need to let go? Stop worrying about things I’m not in control of and send her to nursery next week, because there are so many positives to them going at this age? Or do I go with my gut and leave it a couple of months until she’s a bit older?
‘I’m not meaning to scare anyone sending their little one off to nursery here, I’m hoping you can give me some reassurance or tell me what you did if you felt the same please. Any advice? I’m so torn. I didn’t go to nursery, I started playgroup when I was 3 and I think I’ve turned out okay.’

After revealing that she was having second thoughts Kate added that she was upset as she dreaded the thought of leaving the toddler at nursery.
‘Would it be the worst just holding off and having childcare at home / soft play once a week with other babies until I feel confident that Tayto will be okay?’
‘I left the nursery garden today and cried at the thought of next week. She’s so tiny and vulnerable, the most precious little thing and I can’t think of anything worse than leaving her at nursery.’
The television personality who shares Noa with her fiancé, Martin, has spoken about her struggle after giving birth to their first child in a candid interview.
Earlier this year, Kate told The Sun that the first eight weeks after giving birth were the ‘darkest place’ she’d ever been to.
Speaking about Martin she said: ‘He really wanted to be a dad and there was a little bit of worry there for him in the beginning, thinking that he’d made me do this. Like: ‘Goodness, she’s going to blame me for this…’
‘And yeah, I definitely had thoughts of resentment, moments where I thought to myself: ‘Why did I let him convince me this would be a good idea?
