Reception child play date alone

[Oli5]

Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on children in year going on playdates alone for the first time at someone’s house? My daughter is 4 and has been invited to play . She has some additional needs so feeling a bit uncertain whether it’s a good idea for her first of all or whether it should be with me there.
Thanks in advance

Thoughts ?

Sorry that was meant to be Year R!

If you explain to the other mum, she might be happier that he stayed.

I think for her first couple of times it's absolutely fine to ask.
My DS isn't at that age yet but my friend went with her daughter for first few times.
I wouldn't have a problem with it, I'd supply you with cuppas and biscuits

This probably shouldn't be in baby names.

It will depend entirely on your child. Generally, I'd say it's completely fine. But only you know your child's needs.

Oh I didn’t know it was I’m new to mumsnet so still finding my way around !

Why would she go alone? I wouldn’t personally send my child on their own if it’s the first time

I am arranging play dates for my Reception age child and would expect the parent to stay. I don’t know any of the children well enough to feel comfortable looking after them and also I’d like the opportunity to chat and get to know the parents.

The first time it's fine to say she might prefer you stay but after that, hard as it is, you need to let her fly, she's a school kids now

My dd has additional needs and I always let the parent know exactly what they are letting themselves in for
