Struggling with Squid Separation

The Squid started nursery over a month ago. Just one day a week, as I cannot drive yet. Once I can drive, we're hoping to have him in 3 days a week. But he's still so reluctant to go. He's suddenly started having the separation anxiety phase he should have gone through at 8-10 months old.



He tells me "I'll miss you!!" every time I leave the room. He hangs onto my leg when I get in, spends most his time trying to sit on my lap (or on my head, if I'm sitting on the sofa, feeding his sister). He's like an ex cat of mine, always attempting to sit on the keyboard as I type. This was the little boy who I was so proud of when I dropped him into the middle of a 1 year old's birthday party, having barely seen more than 7 babies in one room at a time - and he just ran off and joined the 50 other kids without even a backwards glance.

I'm not sure how to tackle it. How to reassure my beautiful boy that we're always here for him. Even if I can't hold him right at that moment, I'm always thinking about him.
