Got third choice. Keep 4 year old in private

[starrain]

So schools around us are not amazing. We chose a school from all of them, that will help us with the after school pick up (all my husbands nephew and nieces go there) . But now havent got our first choice im wondering if i can keep my ds in private nursery until he is 5. He only just turns 4 in july. It would help us because we both work so the hours are better and he is very settled there and loves it. And he hates waking up for 8am every morning so maybe hes not ready for it. Has anyone left their dc in private nursery until 5? Any advice would be great as im now stressing

If you defer entry you should get 30 hours funding until he starts school. We looked into this for a child deferring entry this year and the L.A. said they would continue to provide the 30 hours funding for an extra year.

It's completely fine for him to go into year 1 next year though you might need to reapply. If you want him to start reception next year it is doable but more difficult.
But you can as pp said do nothing for now and keep him where he is, best idea is to defer until January or Easter next year.
