If your child is 4 how many hours a week do they spend at pre-school?

Obviously they might be at school but if they’re 4 or will turn 4 in this academic year so will start school in Sept 3021.

My DC is doing 2 days a week 9-2.

Thanks :)

My DS is 4 in April, he currently does 4 days 8:50- 2:45 and he loves it. Ive just filled in his school application today for next September 😳

2 days a week 9-3 here, too. He’s almost 4. Tbh, would love to up that another day! But he’s incredibly sociable so I have to play with him all day and he doesn’t really do independent play - so it’s quite tiring!

[EcoCustard]

3 days a week at preschool, 9.15-2.45. She is 3 and turns 4 next August and starts school soon after. She was doing two but upped it to 3 as everything is still closed around us, swimming, groups, gym and she seems happier.

9.00-3.00 M-F

DD's Pre school is part of a childcare provision which offers wrap around care (breakfast club and after school for local primaries as well as the pre school) she does 2 x 8:30-5 and 1 x 7:30 - 5:30. Prior to starting there she went to the sister nursery and did the same hours.

School nursery, 9-3:25 Monday to Friday. It's full time hours only, no options for half days etc.

It was last year and pre COVID he did three days 9:15-12:00. In a normal year he would have gone up to four days and two lunch clubs (stay until 14:00) in the term he was 4. Childminder dropped off and collected, preschool was for socialisation and learning how to be in school!

When DD was 4 she did give sessions across 4 days. We started with three sessions, then upped it to four after a few weeks, then five. By the end she did Mon, Tues and Thurs 8:45 - 11:45 and then home for lunch. On Wednesday she did 8:45 - 2:45 and had lunch there. Wednesday was her favourite day. And mine!

DS is starting in January and we're starting off with a couple of sessions, then adding more as he goes on.

[Coriandersucks]

[timothytoes]

DD is 4 in November. She does 4 days a week 9-3:30 She enjoys it.

[Noodledoodledoo]

Last year 3 days 830-330, 2 days 830-1130. just started reception. Was 4 in August.

[pastabest]

Officially 4.5 days but on the days I'm not at work I let her decide if she wants to go or not.

[StuntCroissant]

My DD will be 4 in Nov. She does 7.30am - 4pm twice a week.

[Modestandatinybitsexy]

DS will be 4 in June and is doing weds to Friday 9-3, previously he was with MIL 8-4 4 days a week, he's still with her the two days he's not at preschool.

[mindutopia]

At 4, mine was in 9-5 5 days a week. She was actually bouncing off the walls every day when she first started school as 9-3 was such a short day and she was fairly under stimulated.

[TeddyIsaHe]

Dd is 4 in January and does 8:30-5:45 3 days a week. Will probably be 5 days a week in the next month or two as my work picks up again.

[OverTheRainbow88]

5 days a week 9-12, then needs a nap!

[ellesbellesxxx]

My pre school twins do 8-430 three days a week

[underneaththeash]

My DS1 did 4 days 8.25-1.30, DS2 3 days 9-1 and DD 4 days 9-12 and one 9-1.

[VirginiaWolverine]

DD did 9-12 4 days a week. DS is younger, and the school had become mire popular by then and only offered 3 sessions a week.

[Wonderwalk]

My ds does 4 days a week, 2days 9am-3pm and 2 days 8:30-5pm

[JimmyTheBrave]

Not quite 4 but 9-12 five days a week.

I've been wondered whether to look at upping it to the 30 hours as he loves it when he's there but is quite shy in general, (hides from friends when waiting to go in for example).

Does anyone have any experience with this?
