Neurotic parent alert, before you hopefully read on
Ds will be starting school in September.
At the new starters' parents evening we put our details on a sign in list with childs name and name of the pre-school they have been attending. I was not surprised to see that roughly 70-80% of the children were from two particular pre-school's nearest to the primary (although there is no pre-school attached to the primary school).
Later at home I started thinking about this more deeply. Ds attends a pre-school close to where I work rather than close to where we live and no-one from his pre-school will be attending the same primary school as him.
Two things are bothering me,
Most importantly, will the pre-schoolers tend to stick together leaving ds having to work hard to make friends unless he takes a shine to some of small group of children who also didn't all go to the two pre-schools local to the primary school ?
Less importantly, why did the school want the information in the first place ?

Do pre-school friends stick together in reception classes ?
