I am sure your child will benefit hugely from the social interaction that nursery brings and the activities they do that you would never do at home. It is a longer day, but with nurseries it is not obligatory hours, so you can pick her up early until she has settled and is used to the rhythm. Both mine went to nurseries, not full time, but for similar ish hours and its hugely beneficial for everyone and makes the other time you spend with them very special which makes for happy mum and happy kids! Unlike the previous poster, I believe children benefit from being with other role models, not just their parents!
