Ds turns 5 in September, so he'll be one of the oldest in his class. Thing is, they've scrapped the half day only for a term that they have done until this year, and ds has never really been to nursery. he did go for a little bit, but I had dd and he wanted to stay with us and i let him. The other thing is that he is quite old for his age in terms of vocabulary and interaction, but has very high emotions and sometimes finds them hard to cope with. I'm trying to get him some playschool/nursery places for this term, though everything is absurdly booked round here, but getting increasingly worried that he won't be able to cope with a nine till three day, it will be a big shock to his system. Is there anything I can do? I'd really like to part HE him for a year though I'm not sure any school will allow that. Would the school allow him only to do half days for a term? Not sure they would make a special exception.
