My dd is 17m. She's currently in full-time nursery and we're living in a fairly yummy-mummyish and affluent area. (By chance - we moved here because of my dh's work and virtually picked a rental property and location out of a hat! Didn't want MNetters to think that was some weird boast.) We're fairly settled now, as is dd, but was gobsmacked when one of the nursery staff said we'd have to start thinking about a school place for her by the time she turns 2. Does this sound right? Maybe I'm terribly naive...
And what does it entail? I can't get my head around having a choice...partially because I grew up in v remote area, I reckon. What do I do? What are the rules of this strange game? The only experience I have is of seeing upset parents on tv whose children couldn't go to the school they wanted. Any advice gratefully received - and it really can't be too basic as I don't know where to start!
