DD1 is 2.4 and has been in nursery since she was 9 mo. She's going to be 3 next January and rather than leave her where she is, DH wants to move her to the preschool for our preferred primary school, basically to increase her chances of getting into the school. I'm very unsure about this because of the following:
It is 3 hours every morning or afternoon, school term time only, so she would also need a childminder (we both work full time)
DD2 will be 1 then and I will go back to work after maternity leave, so she will also go to the childminder.
It's the second school in our catchment area and the school is oversubscribed so it's unlikely she'll get in anyway. I don't think they consider preschool attendance.
it feels like quite an upheaval and I'm not sure if it's worth it. I'd be interested to hear what others would do in this situation.
