Morning everyone
This morning i've been asked by a parent when they should think about pre-school. The little boy i look after is 3 in february, he attends a nursery (daycare) 3 days a week and comes to me for 2 days.
I'm not clued up on schooling yet as my daughter is 3 in feb as well and started pre-school in september, her free funding kicks in at easter but i'm not sure how it works if a child already attends a nursery. Is that like a pre-school, do they get their free funding there or do they have to be in pre-school to receive it? Do they have to do pre-school or can they go from nursery to school when their 4/5?
I told her i would have a think and ask some other minders whats the best, problem is, the pre-school they would want to use has a waiting list, i put my daughter on it when she was around a year old, would they even get a place?
Sorry for all the questions so early in the morning!!
Thanks for reading, Lynsey xxxx
