What age do they start preschool ??
I'm just wondering as i'm fairly sure i'll need to get Charlottes name down early as we only have 1 preschool in our area. She'll be 2 on 26th March, is it 3 they start ?
Is preschool usually free or do you pay ??

Some work on 1st come 1st serve basis, others catchment area, but it's worth looking into. I left it too late with Isaac and only got into 1st choice because of our speech th!!!
Sounds like charlotte will go Sept 2012.You only pay if you go over 15hrs.

edited to add that I didn't put ds1 name down I just went in on the Friday to register him and he started on the Monday.
I had to put his name on a waiting list to get him in, and my daughters who's 15 months is already on the waiting list for Sept 2012/Jan 2013.
There is a long waiting list at his school and I had his name down since he was 18months
I've sent the application in for charlotte to start at 2.5 which would be the end of september 2011 (so i'm guessing they may offer the following intake anyway when she'll be 3?) just so i've at least got her name down. They dont contact the parents automatically its a first come first serve basis it seems.
(i used to work with children but the funding all very confusing lol) x
We were going to start her at this preschool until September then move her to 1 slightly closer to our house which only takes them from 3 years with the intention of her going to that school but I thought as both Primary schools are on a par she may as well go to the school attached to the preschool she is starting at as it will just confuse her and she will have to make new friends etc!
