DD has been offered a place at Alderbrook, and we're trying to decide between that and a local independent school. We'd prefer DD to go to a state primary if it's a safe and welcoming environment where she'll get a bit of attention (she took ages to settle in to nursery age 3 and will only be just 4 when she starts school). I went to the open day in Nov. 2010 and the reception class seemed a bit chaotic and unstructured, but am going to go and have another look before I decide. Does anyone have any recent experience?
