So, we've decided to send our 2 DCs to private school, and to move our 3 yr old to the school kindergarten, starting after half term. She's desperately trying to read and write, so she's ready for a bit more than her daycare nursery.
We've got a school in 2 mins walk, which we hear good things about. However, when we went to the reception class, it was all just free play with several of the kids not doing anything at all really, and the teacher doing some counting with one child.
Then we've got another school - maybe just walkable, and their kindergarten and reception had much more structure, and were doing numbers, reading etc, and lots of fun stuff too.
Both heads seemed great, both have classes of 15ish. I don't know whether I should be judging a school by the reception year, but I just looked at the classrooms for the older children, and it didn't mean much really.
Any ideas????
