I had DS's name down for a local private nursery that did funded places. You have to pay for your nursery care then get the money back. I had done this as the nursery did flexible care which suited us as I work shifts. My mum had suggested I check if he could go to nursery where they stay (5 miles away). I checked with the education department and they would be fine about it if there are places in the nurseries we picked. Just told DH, he isn't happy about it. His concern is that DS won't know anyone he goes to school with. DH was moved schools when he was 8 and his parents told him he'd just have to get on with it. He was really shy and I can see his point.
My question is, would going to a different town for nursery have a bad effect on DS. He's a sociable little boy and makes friends easily. Has anyone else been in this position?
