Well the title says it all really
My son ( October born so one of the eldest ) was due to start at school nursey this September
After being incredibly unhappy with it for a few reasons and a job opportunity coming up for my husband 40 miles away we have decided to relocate and move in October
Obviously this rules out the school nursery completely
Luckily ( I think ) the area we are moving to don't have any school nurseries attatched to the schools so my son isn't missing out on what I used to think was ideal, a few hours in the same setting with the same children he will go onto reception with.
So now the decision is to find a pre school from next January - July which accepts government funding ( these seem scarce in the area, the nurseries seem to do half days at a minimum which means we would be paying approx £100 a months for it ) or just enjoy my year with him and send him into reception next year and if he struggles with it use my right to defer until the term after he is 5 / request part time hours?
Any opinions most welcome!

Sending a child into reception with no previous nursery / pre school experience...a problem or not?
