How do little ones manage with repeated changes of nurseries/schools?

Hello! I thought I'd canvass the wisdom of mumsnet on this one. We are debating whether to move our son out of his current nursery. We are becoming increasingly unhappy with aspects of how the nursery communicate with us parents/carers to the point that I am nervous of their competence and implications this might have, if i knew he loved it there i think i would think about it less but i don't think he does. He's now old enough to join a local pre-school which we visited just after lockdown - so we saw it with just a few kids there although apart from that it looks great and looks well run. My concern is moving him at this point, as he's got just one year left, plus from the pre-school he'd have to leave again to start school, then it's quite likely we'll move from the area and so he'd have to move school again. So a lot of change. is this really bad and unsettling?

In his current nursery it seems most of the children haven't returned since we came out of lockdown, including his little best mate (due to health reasons, I've only just found this out so didn't know what to say to my son), I'm not sure who he is friends with now, communication with the nursery is awful and I'm not sure what it will be like there from Sept. Covid has definitely exacerbated things.

I'd be grateful please for any insight on changing nurseries/schools etc.

Thanks

Slightly older, but DS2 did a year of established nursery and mornings at school, followed by a month in reception at that school, followed by 6 weeks in a new school in a new country, followed by 4 years in a new school (first school in new country was appalling, hence the quick move). We have now moved internationally again, and he is in yet another primary.
All moved have been accepted tho he has asked if he will finish primary in this school. Academically, the 3 schools in the first term of reception was pretty horrendous, but he has bounced back. Currently settled (in a British state primary) as top set maths, middle set English, so caught up with everyone.
They are fine -especially if you can explain he is moving and get it understood.

If none of you are happy where he is, I would move him.
