Pre school vs private nursery

Hi, I have a 1st September son who will be starting school next September.
He’s been at a private nursery 3 days a week since he was 1 years old. It seems quite a few of his friends have moved to pre schools this September so he’s feeling sad about this.
The school we are most likely to be allocated doesn’t have a pre school but other local schools do, although I don’t think we’d get into these for primary school we could get into their pre school for this year. What do you recommend, is pre school worth it, especially given this wouldn’t be his long term school so I’m not sure if this is even more disruption

Imo no, especially if they'll have to move again so soon.

Plus I thought most have shorter days and are term time only? I'm happy delaying that planning headache for as long as possible.
