Im moving back to EC1 with my almost 2 year old daughter. I am currently in the search of a nursery. I hadn't realized how difficult can be. Most of the nurseries that I like they don't have availability for 6 months to a year!! I feel that schools are even worse and I should be acting NOW. On the other hand I can't really afford to apply to a lot of private schools as it can be quite expensive. Im a single mom so I need a school that will has reasonable working hours as Im working full time. Im not British, even though I have lived here for more than 10 years, so I don't know the British system that well. Ideally Im looking for a school that is pretty liberal and has a lot of arts, sports etc included the curriculum. I don't really want a school that is all about academic achievement if thats possible.
Could you please let me know your experiences/advice?
