Hi I just posted on chat about problems with moving house and school places and someone suggest I pop over here.
the short version we are moving and there is likely to be difficulty getting a school place nearby. Our two oldest I think will be more likely to get a place somewhere even if not together (they are 8 and 6) but our 4 year old who is in nursery now has missed the window to apply in the new area so will just end up wherever there is a spare place.
I was seriously thinking of keeping her home and starting reception at home with her as I wouldnt want to move her again when a place came up nearer the house. I was just looking for advice and wondering if anyone thought that it was a terrible idea/ wonderful idea.
I actually really considered it with my first dc but just before she turned 4 dh and I started a business so it wasn't practical. I have recently stopped working in that business (we employed someone else to do my job finally) so I am at home again with the children.
The house we are moving to has a spare room downstairs which we could use for schooly things if that would be best. I also have two younger children who are 2 and 1 so im not sure how that would fit in.
Basically I have no idea where to start. My dd can already do basic things like count and write her name but thats pretty much it so I just dont want her to fall behind while she has no place. SHe is 5 almost straight away after the start of the new school year so I think that means she is meant to be in school. I have been looking online for advice on what she is supposed to be learning when she is in reception but there is so much conflicting advice I just end up more confused than when I started!
Sorry if this is confusing I am not really sure what I am asking just feeling a bit lost with it all!.
