to ignore my parents views?

My parents have had a very active role in the upbringing of our child and constantly cast their views on how they think we should parent our little girl. She turns 3 in May and we have been looking at putting her in a private nursery attached to any good prep school (or a good feeder) in the kensington area (suggestions??) At the moment she is cared for by her nanny who my parents helped pick out. My parents want us to keep the nanny till dd turns 4 and is put into school which is not what we initially wanted to do because we want dd to get used to the school setting before she enters reception. My dh is suddenly swaying towards the idea of keeping the full time nanny instead of starting to hire her for after and before school hours after a long convo with my parents?!?!? I don’t know what to do because it’s now 3 against 1. I really feel nursery is what she needs especially with a sibling on the way but i feel bad completely ignoring their views! Give me advice!!!

I would assume your parents involvement is a cultural norm? Ignore if this is wrong. Finding a nanny for before and after is very difficult. I’d keep the nanny AND send the child to your preferred nursery.
