[forevermore]

has anyone experience of this pre-school setting. I am thinking of putting name down for my dd to start next september. but it will mean me finding wrap around care which will be tough i imagine. comared to lacal nursery though it did seem mmore interactive.

any experiences

not been there. Sent my wee one to Teddies which I was very pleased with and compared well to subsequent nurseries (we moved out the area)High staff turnover though

Not seen that one, but we use a small Montessori in Sheffield which is amazing. They don't offer wrap around care as they don't believe it's suitable for small children to be in a nursery environment for that number of hours...

What about using a childminder or asking another mum at the same nursery? - I have another mum picking my DD up one day a week and occassionally she goes to lunch.. it's really nice for her and the other little boy.

Montessori nurseries are amazingly interactive - the children are put at the centre, learning at their own rate - often choosing their own activities or working things out for themselves. My DD does lots of life skills stuff - sewing, peeling veg (her fav. activity), sledging (in winter), pouring her own milk.
