Hello,
Am after some opinions/advice please!
I have a son aged 3.5, he goes to a lovely local playgroup, 3 mornings. He is settled there now and everything is great. He will start primary school in Sep 2016 as is an October baby.
I am wondering whether to move him to a school nursery in September, so he can do a year there before starting primary school? Is it appropriate to stay at a playgroup right up until starting school at age 4.5, and skip school nursery, or will he have outgrown it by then and it may hold him back?
An important point I think, is that he won't be attending the primary school the nursery is attached to anyway, as we will be relocating in summer 2016 before he starts school, so he will be starting school in a new area (well old actually, as we're returning to our hometown after 2 years away). If he was I think I'd probably make the move to school nursery this September without second thought.
I'm really not sure what to do for the best? On one hand I want him to stay where he's happy and thriving, he has friends and loves it there, and he won't be going to school here anyway with the children from school nursery.. On the other hand I don't want him to be the oldest there, surrounded by 2-3 year olds and majorly out of his depth when he starts school?
Help! Thanks :)
