Not sure if I've phrased that correctly, but- found out DD's reception place earlier this week. We got third choice in what appears to be quite an oversubscribed area this year. We are pleased with the school itself, no real worries there and some people have been far less fortunate.
However found out a couple of days later that as it stands at the moment, there will be 2 girls and 10 boys in her year (its a small school). They are mixed with year 1's- not 100 per cent sure of mix, but again I think fewer girls than boys.
In her current nursery (which is big) there are more girls than boys.
Any experience with this? I am quite worried to be honest. I keep thinking- what if the other girl leaves? There is no reason at all why DD shouldn't be friends with and play with boys but in her mind, at the moment, everything is about girls, girls, girls and she loves her group of 'girl' friends.
I hope this makes sense, I would feel just the same btw if I was sending my DS into a year with only one other boy...
