Who's children have mainly spent all their time with their primary carer up until starting school? I don't mean the odd babysitting session or day with grandparents, just no childminder/preschool/nursery.
We weren't planning on sending DS to any of the above as I am at home with DD anyway. However, some other parents have been surprised that we wouldn't take advantage of the free hours at nursery as it would be 'good for preparing for school'. We're not antinursery, but just preferred the idea of doing it ourselves.
Has anyone else done the same? Did your DC enjoy starting school or did they struggle as most other children have been eased in gently by attending nursery?
