Hi all
Does anyone have experience of really big preschool classes? DD will be 4 in September and we're thinking of sending her to the preschool of the school she'll be attending the next year. It gets good reviews from local parents, has great facilities, outstanding Ofsted etc but the 3+ room is one huge class of 65 kids 😯
Apparently it's quite structured (they break into small groups for maths and phonics sessions in the morning and afternoon) which stops it falling into complete chaos. DD will be one of the oldest in the year (I definitely wouldn't have sent her there last year at 3) and she's relatively confident and gregarious, so I think if anyone could cope with it she could, but it still makes me a bit nervous.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Actually that can't be right as the ratio is 1 adult to 13 children. I'm sure I asked in the tour but I'll have to double check
