Good afternoon,

My son Sam will start going to school nursery from Easter next year.

After his 3^rd Bday.

When will your little ones go to school nursery? Will they start with 1 morning a week? Or 2 or 3 or more?

When is it good to start on full days for the whole week?

Hi
I've applied for my daughter to go after Xmas (she's 3 in Nov), but she'll only get a place if there's any going - it's not guaranteed. If she does get a place it will be 5 mornings or 5 afternoons.

Currently she is with a child minder who I'll still have to pay even when she goes to nursery so I'm not fussed whether she goes or not to be honest.

I take it you're a bit unsure about what to do for Sam? Are you at home with him and will this be his first time being left? I would suggest maybe 2 mornings a week then...

Hope this helps

Hello and thank you for replying.

Sam has been with the childminder since he was 6 months old. I have been working full time since.

I would also pay the childminder but at least not when he's at nursery, as the 1st 15hours are free.

My childminder would charge us £5/h for 3 hours a day. We would pick Sam up from nursery at 12PM and take him at home for lunch. I will have my lunch between 12 to 1pm and my hubby from 1 to 2pm at home. so then we can drop Sam off the c/m at 2pm until 5pm.

we are lucky that we work and live really close to the c/m and nursery.

and during half term, she would have him full time again and for £5/h all day from 9pm to 5pm
