Pre-school or nursery

[lorza03]

So I feel I have a situation. My daughter is 3.5y and will not go to school until next sept due to her having a nov birthday, cutting a long story short, we are on. Nursery number 3! And have been at no3 for jst over a year, every one is amazing and my daughter loves it. I then have my son who was 2 1 week ago, he started nursery in January and does 2 days that I pay for and my daughter now gets the free hours. The nursery is expensive and I was considering wether to put my 2 yo into the pre-school, we are going to have a look Tom. Just wondering what the hell to do as I am due to return to work before December (as I have a 3. Child) currently 3 months old. Obviously I’m aware pre school is term time only. But I just feel in a pickle and can’t seem to come to a conclusion as to what’s going to work best.
I do have my husband to talk to but feel that other mums have been there and maybe been in my situation. Thanks

I would stick with the amazing nursery that your daughter loves. It means only one place to drop your daughter and son. Both follow the same curriculum. I would only move your daughter if the difference in price is too much for your budget.

Think ahead to when you go back to work
Potentially you could be looking at 3 different settings- one for baby, preschool for son and school for daughter
How is that going to work?
Do you qualify for 2 year funding?
Have you applied?

Is the main issue the cost of the nursery op?

In your shoes I think my priority (beyond a decent standard of care) would be all three in one place.

Yes thanks everyone going to stick with nursery that means all in one place - maybe re think my plan next year when my daughter goes to school
