DS is 3 and a half and has some social and communication problems (not yet been diagnosed with ASD but it gets talked about a lot).
He's been going to a local state nursery for half a year, 15 hours a week. They struggle with his behaviour (hitting and biting especially when it's noisy)
We've just had a meeting saying they can only have him there if he has constant one to one with an adult, but there is only funding available for 7 hours a week for this. So he can only have 7 hours of nursery a week, and he's supposed to be starting school next September.
We're in the fortunate position that we can afford to send him to a private nursery.
Would this help? Do private nurseries allow you to pay yourself for a one on one help? Should we look for a Montessori or an alternative type nursery? Would they require one on one help, or maybe they wouldn't need that there?
Any advice gratefully received. It's a bit of a blow because at home his behaviour is fine so I forget that he's going to struggle in the usual systems.

DS needs extra help. Should we go private? Montessori?
