Hello all, I'm currently living in Australia, and moving back to the UK (Devon/Somerset area) at the end of Feb. I'm really excited to be moving home after 6.5 years over here.
We come home with two extra little people, our 4.5 year old girl/boy twins.
In Australia, you don't have to send kids to school at 4, you can hold them back a year, which is what we would be doing if we were staying. The Australian school year starts in January, so they could start this year - if we weren't moving home.
The reason why we were holding them back, is that they are both really shy, and gentle kids. It's taken them a long time to cope with Pre-school here, and it's still not smooth sailing.
I'm so worried as it's going to be massive moving country, but moving schools, and starting in a proper school, not just a pre-school, is going to really affect them.
Can anyone in the Devon/Somerset area advise on some good smaller schools?
I'm so stressed I can't even think straight about what to do.
