My son is in a day nursery that is 2-3 minutes walk from our home. He is almost 3. He used to like the nursery so much that he did not want to go home in the evening. For the last few months it takes almost an hour every morning to convince him to go to the nursery. In the evening he runs out and does not want to stay a minute longer if I need to ask something from the nursery management or staff. Now he says he wants to go to a different nursery but cannot explain why he does not want to go to his current nursery.
I thought maybe it is worth to try a school nursery 1-2 days or half-days a week to start with to see if he likes a school nursery.
Some private primary schools guarantee a place in Reception if the child joins their nursery.
Apart from a guaranteed place in a school and getting familiar with the school teacher are there any other advantages of school nurseries? Do school nurseries prepare better for Reception?
I want to do just 1-2 days because all school nurseries is about half an hour walk or train ride. Plus they finish earlier than our day nursery.
