Summer birthday - anxious about starting school

My son is due to start reception in Sept 2006. He will have just turned four (at the end of June). I am very anxious about him going to school so young. The local primary (in Queens Park, London) is huge and looks like a Victorian workhouse. It scares me, let alone him. I am even considering holding him back a year - is this crazy? He's currently at a lovely, small and friendly nursery - he goes there for three days a week while I work and loves it. But he is quite sensitive - definitely not one of the boisterous boys. I can't bear the thought of him being bullied by older/bigger kids. Does anyone have any advice?

My DS was 4 at the beg of August this year and started Reception. However he did a year in the nursery attached to the school and it is a lovely small friendly school so we didn't have too may problems.

Can you take your DS along to have a look beforehand so he is a bit familiar with it all? Will any of his friends from nursery be going as well?

I'm sure others will have lots more advice!
