Most nurseries have a preschooler room which is what most people are talking about I think. My Oct 21 baby has just moved up from the toddler room to the preschool
Preschool isn’t mandatory, my daughter started preschool at 2.5 she does 2 mornings a week. I also think the terms preschool & nursery are often interchangeable with people(!), I often correct people when they ask if my LG is in nursery & say she goes preschool. my understanding is that preschool is term time and nursery is all year round (that’s what they told me anyway 🤣) . Also worth noting her preschool is completely stand alone nothing to do with a school or attached to a school at all, so don’t worry mama 🥰xx
Mines been going to a nursery which has baby, toddler and preschool rooms. Primary school (not sure if that is called nursery, preschool or reception) doesn't start until next year September but we have to apply for those schools this term.
