nursery

My October 2021 child won’t be starting school next September - as he won’t be four yet?? Do you mean -next September as in sept ‘26

Me ! Never was able to find a nursery place for him everytime we tried + fees are just too much, so I’ve home schooled him for the past year and we go to play groups , he can sing his abc’s , count to 15 and is very sociable , will be ending him straight to school !

Sending * him to school in 2026 September

@danielle yeah that’s next September?

Yeh silly me - my bad

@Lavern yeah my son is the same he can recognize all colours, shapes, he can count to 20 and sing the abc. Is a social butterfly. Only really sent him to socialise with other children as he doesn’t see many children apart from his cousins time to time( we are a military family)

this is amazing !! I just feel like nursery is really good for the social aspect, but they thrive learning at their own pace, I wish I could continue home schooling forever but I feel now the foundation has been built they can have a great head start / understanding at school without all the pressure of being “right”

My daughter is in a preschool group at the nursery she has attended since she was a baby. She will remain there next year and start school the year after. My 9 month old son is also at the same nursery so it’s easier to have them together and the hours are longer at the nursery so I don’t have to worry about collecting her when the school hours are up as I’m a teacher and can’t physically get there.

I'm not sending my son to nursery at all and considering not even sending to school tbh!

My LG goes to the childminder 3 full days a week and she does amazing preschool academic learning with the children,...I won't be sending my daughter to nursery or a preschool...I did consider a preschool but decided I didn't want to disrupt her routine when I have no concerns currently and she is a very confident and bright little lady...so I have confidence in her ability to start school without prior nursery etc... xxx

My little one has started pre school last 3 weeks, she hates it cry’s when she knows she is going , I don’t know what to do pull her out or ride it out ??? Any suggestions anyone

I haven’t had any need to send to nursery as I’m home 4 days a week and my son spends 3 days a week with my mum. I’m a teacher so I get all the holidays with him. He’s thriving and pretty advanced for his age. After working as a reception teacher for 8 years I can honestly say that if I didn’t have a piece of paper every year that tells me who has/hasn’t been to nursery, I wouldn’t be able to tell. It all comes down to their own little personalities.

@Amy Iv decided to wait and pull her out , she will be ready when it’s her actual time to go in sep 2026, she’s very advanced now and she just wants her mummy so I’m going to soak up that very little time of her still being a baby before she has to officially go to school , a mothers instinct is so strong and my instinct is telling me she is not ready x
