My DD1 could start primary at just-turned 5 or could wait a year and start at nearly-6.
Is it better to wait a year or is being one of the youngest in the class an advantage in any way? I'm not worried about her adapting as she has been at nursery 6 hours a day since 2 yo and is very happy at school.
(Background: we currenty live in Spain where primary starts at 6yo but are considering moving back to the UK in 18-24 months).

Are there any studies about children who are the youngest/oldest in their class and how 'well' they did in school/life?
