None of the local nurseries has any spaces until September 2010. This suggests that they expect to have new spaces when the top group of kids goes to primary school - fair enough.
But then they all go on about moving children through the rooms according to their own developmental needs. How can this be the case if the top room is full up until September? I'm assuming the implication is that the oldest kids leave, those in Toddler 2/ daisies/ teddies (or whatever they call the next one down) move up en masse, and so on down to the baby room. And then they have spaces in the baby room for all kids whatever age they may be, in September rather than when they're ready to go to nursery (or when parent needs to go back to work) How on earth does this fit with the insistence that your child won't be moved up too soon, or left in a room where they're not being stimulated enough?
Are there any nursery teachers about who could explain how this works?
Sorry for that sounding horribly antagonistic, am just buggered for childcare as none of the local childminders has any space either. Am also a bit annoyed that the suggestion is that there will not be any vacancies at any point during the year - eg people moving away or anything else like that. Mostly p'd off because we've been on some of these waiting lists since I was 6 months pregnant and dd will be one in December.
