A bit of background. DS is just turned 2 - but an August birthday so he will go to nursery school in Sept 2005 and big school in September 2006.
Currently, my mum has him monday and tuesday and childminder wed-fri (which he adores). Childminder is a 2 minute drive away from where I work. Work is about a 15 minute drive away from where we live. i currently work full time.
Still with me?
Anyway - pregnant with baby number 2 due in march and officially going back to work in September when ds will be ready to go to nursery every week day morning. I also hope to go part time which will result in (if the plan works) my mum having kids on monday and tuesday and childminder having them on wed, then home with me thurs and fri.
At the moment, DS's name is down for nursery next to childminders - did this before I was pregnant. We also want to move to that area in the next few years so thought nursery and school in that area would be best.
However, considering he will only be at childminder 1 day per week, and perhaps for an hour before nursery on the days my mum has him (to make life easier!) is it wise to send him there?
But what if he goes to nursery near where we live? Couldn't use our childminder any more and she is fab and worth holding on to and DS loves her!
ARGH!
Did anyone understand?
If so, any advice would be appreciated.
Oh also worth mentioning that the school near childminder is three tier system (4-9 YEAR SCHHOL) which in the next 5 years will no doubt chnage to primary whereas the one near is us is primary. Oh, and the one near childminders is a feeder school to the one where i teach - and i dont want to teach ds!
