My little girl is at home with me and I'm indecisive at to whether I want to send her to nursery when she turns 3, or like you when she turns 4 🥴
I’ve been having the same thoughts. I’m going to keep my girl in nursery I think and I’ve joined a couple of groups near the school to hopefully make friends with mums and their children to make easing into school easier x
Re potty our LO never said he needed the toilet before potty training. Don’t think you need to wait for any signs before trying. Our first three days were dreadful but after a 10 days it was 80-90% success rate. Re preschool. I wouldn’t bother with an August baby. We’re early Sept so will be doing preschool when he turns 4. If he’d been starting school we wouldn’t have done x
I’m in the same boat. I think we’re leaning toward keeping him in private nursery because it’s open during the holidays so I can enjoy at least one more year without having to worry about taking time off for holidays etc
Same boat here and keeping them in private nursery. Went back and forth on the decision for a while but ultimately our reasons are because we know they love it there and it’s more convenient for us with later pick up time and not just term time
My LB(2.5yrs) is at preschool, he’s coming on really well and I’m personally glad I’ve sent him early. They’re also good with helping with the potty training, he can’t say I need a wee or toilet, but I leave the potty out and he knows where the toilets are in the house/ at preschool. He’s doing soo well. You do what you feel is best for your little one. No harm in going to look at a preschool and just seeing how you feel about it. X
We're swapping to pre school in September (she will just turn 3) and then will start reception at 4. It's all attached to the school. She is potty trained, but I think they still help with that at the pre school if needed. Also means she can attend 9-3 for the week so will get her used to school hours and the funding covers her hours rather than the full time days at nursery. Also we didn't wait till she told us she would use a potty, we started the week she turned 2 and she was done within 2 weeks. X
My LB has been going to preschool since 2 (october), it's been really good for him, a calmer setting than the craziness of other private nurseries that I'd visited or previously sent him to. He's doing really well and loves going. We are starting potty training properly soon and they're really supportive. He doesn't say when he needs to go but if I ask he will say yes or no and I'll just sit him on the potty 🤞
Same here and we're keeping our little one in private nursery for another year and she'll be starting reception at age 4. She loves her nursery and calls her little nursery friends her family and it's better for us to do full days there instead of half days at pre school so it's a no-brainer for us
My lg started pre-school in September at 2. She's pretty intelligent so I wanted to send her somewhere that she would be engaged (the other kids are behind her) very few of the kids at her pre-school are toilet trained as they're only 2/3. Although when she's ready they've said they'll support us in training her. She's "ready" but she's scared of sitting on the potty without her nappy on atm *sigh* x
