My DD1 is due to start nursery after the summer assuming she's got a place since the nursery haven't bothered to tell me and I'm not sure what she 'should' know in advance of this?
Most of my friends children have been in private nurseries for a while and so know most letters and numbers and one can write a few letters. DD knows 'important' letters to her like the ones that start her, her sisters and mine and my partners names. She counts to fifteen when she feels like it but often gets wrong. But considering she does it correctly most of the time I assume she's messing around or not interested the times she gets it wrong. She's also got a weird thing about the number 13 and virtually always misses it out...
I'm keen to play games that encourage knowledge of all this but don't want to push. But similarly I don't want her to go and for the rest of them to all know all their letters etc.
