Leeds independent schools - help!

My son is almost 3 and in a good day nursery. We are looking at schools now, and considering GSAL (Rose Court), Richmond House and Moorlands. I'd be really grateful for any views on these schools because I expect other parents in a similar position have considered each of these options.

Also, on a separate but related note, we're not sure whether to keep him in nursery until he starts school, or put him into the pre-school of the school we may choose. There's a huge advantage to keeping him in nursery (which has a pre-school class) given that it's open 51 weeks of the year and until 630pm (so no school holidays to contend with....just yet). However, would he be better in terms of development to go into the pre-prep/nursery for whicever school we choose, and we just suck up the fact that we have the whole school holiday thing a year earlier than we would otherwise? TIA.

Hello! A little late here. So what did you decide for your little one? We have recently decided to move out kid, who is 6, to an independent school. I have visited them all, but just so confused still. Would love to hear from you.

Which did you visit Makae?

Hey. I visited Richmond House, Moorlands and GSAL so far

Went for GSAL in the end and don’t have any regrets. The others are good schools but I found them, personally, to be a little old fashioned, quite small and with less focus on stretching brighter children.

Hi. Which one did you go for in the end, if you don't mind me asking? My son starts primary next year and I'm starting to look around the ones you're interested in too? Thanks
