starting school- with no pre school
i was just wondering to you mums of older kids 5+, did you send or not send your kids to a nursery/pre school,and find they were still ok or not ok when they started school full time. i am just wondering if they benefit from going before 4/5 or if actually they are to young and thats why they get upset? or infact do you regret not doing it as your child hated it and was terrified? just thinking out loud, getting opnions before i send my 2 year old to nursery 2x a week.

My ds2 will be starting preschool at 2, i cant praise it enough, they get so much from it.
personally i wouldnt put mine in earlier than that (unless i was working, which im not).
my son will be 3 in june and he will go to nursery after the summer holidays.
my daughter went for 5 x 2.5hrs sessions a week, ie. monday to friday afternoons, and its fab to get them into a routine. she was upset for a few days but loved it after that.
my son aswell, will go 5x afternoons, as is the norm here.
i think if you are not working, then it is good for them to be at home until they are 3....but that is just my opinion and everyones opinions are differetn xx
