Baby unsettled at nursery

Hi everyone, my 8 month old baby has started nursery and it's been two weeks and every time I pick her up they inform me she's quite unsettled. She's only there for 3-4 hours. Does it get better? How long did it take your LO's to settle in?

Scratching side of head

Anyone’s LO scratching the sides of their head, just above the ears? My son has started doing this yesterday, usually when he’s feeding. He has very little and very fine hair so I can see there aren’t any spots or cuts etc. Any ideas why he might be doing this? Could it be linked to him teething? Should I get him ch...
