to think less of someone who is willing for DS to miss nursery so they get cheaper holidays?

When I said that our kids starting nursery this coming September means we have to go on holiday during the school holidays from now on, she replied that her DS will have to have a poor record for attendance for the first year as it was not that important and she was going to have her holidays when she liked!

YABU.... (IMO)

My DD 3.6 is at preschool as we are going away later today for 1 week (during term time)...

I agree with your friend - there are years and years ahead of you when your children are at school to have to holiday in term time, I plan to make the most out of DD being at Preschool still and going when I want to also...

We are planning a trip to NZ next year, as DD will be starting school next September and I know that if we don't go before then, then we will have to wait a very long time!..

Really don't see the harm in them missing preschool (nursery) when it suits you.. although I did plan day trips out around her preschool session..

For info - I do not plan to go on holiday during term time once DD starts school....
