HI there - my 3 year old boy started nursery today for the first time - just went in for the hour today with me.
The 3 year olds and the pre-school year just mingle in together - there isn't a separate "class" for the separate years. Is this a common thing? I can't work out yet whether I think this is a good or a bad thing. It is quite noticable the difference in age and I can imagine that some of the younger ones might be quite intimidated by the older children.
I also encountered the old toilet problem too - my boy has been potty trained since last summer but needs a little assistance with bottom wiping and getting on the toilet. As parents we aren't allowed to go into the toilet with the children (child protection issues) and as a result my boy struggled to get onto the toilet and then managed to wee all over his pants and trousers. It didn't help that it was one of those toilet seats that has a gap at the front - perfect for wee to escape!
Needless to say I went in there to help him - contravening the rules!!
Would be interested to hear any of your comments or experiences.
Cheers.
