Planning on enrolling DD 2.5yrs in nursery in springtime, initially for a few morning sessions a week.
Been to look at a few nurseries, have shortlisted two. One is a forest school, very small, appears to be a nurturing environment, seems to focus on free play rather than preparing for school. I could see DD being happy attending there hopefully although i would prefer abit more focus on preparing for school.
Other nursery is a bit bigger, more children, more of a focus on education I think and more of a school type environment. I think DD would enjoy having slightly older kids to converse with, as she often doesn't get much back from peers her own age. I do worry she would end up following the older kids around and end up in a subservient role to them as she is very eager to please and make friends.
Which one do I choose????
