I am chronically indecisive and am getting my knickers in a right twist over this, everyone I know is partial so I am asking MN for help.
DS is 5 in Jane, he will be starting school then (deferred from Sept), at the mo he goes to a lovely playgrp opposite the school with a large garden (we live in a built up area so this is a big plus), he's been there for 1.5 yrs.
I had decided that dispite all his contempories leaving in Sept. he was to stay on (most are going to different schools) BUT last week a mother said she was putting her DD in the school's nursery for one term before she moved up to school in Jan SO I filled in a form (not expecting much at the late stage) and DS has been offered a place too, tho they will be going at different times.
The nursery does not have a garden, just a play area BUT it will have children his age who will be going in to reception with him in Jan.
I originally sent him to the playgrp cos I wanted him to have fun before the serious business of school started and to get to run around alot and stuff - I've asked him what he wants to do and he says "play" but one minute he wants to stay at PG the next go to nursery.
So, what should I do, obviously I love the PG and am having trouble letting go (natch) but should I throw him in the (relatively) big pool now or let him be the big fish in a small pool for another term.
HELP!
PS apologies for the length of this one
