She's just turned 4 so will be one of the oldest and is pretty bright, but she took about 4 months to settle at nursery last year and still has off days, especially on the day her best friend is not there. Am going to look at 2 schools with her next week and hope to get her in the same one as her BF although we are not in the catchment. If she has to start Reception not knowing anyone I dread to think about the hassle we'll have and impact it may have on her educationally. She's been playing up for the last few days and told my mum this morning it was 'cos she's worried about going to big school. We have tried reassuring her that it's not for ages/will be fun to learn new things (she loves books/writing etc now) and she'll make lots of lovely new friends but doesn't seem to help. Has anyone else been through this or got any suggestions?
