My son is in his pre-school year in a nursery class. We get funded places for ante-pre and pre-school years. There are morning and afternoon sessions - my ds goes in the afternoon with most of the younger children who will not be starting school next year. I wasn't given a choice in this. Every other child who is old enough to start school next year attends the morning class.
My worry is how he will settle in school when he won't know any of the other children in his class, while the other children will have had a year getting to know each other and forming friendships. I have broached the subject with the nursery teacher, but she was not very helpful. There are no places available in the other class, so nothing can be changed to accommodate him.
Should I be concerned about this, or am I worrying about nothing? I'm really not throwing my toys out of the pram about this - it doesn't make any difference to me whether he goes mornings or afternoons except from this point of view. I was quite happy to accept an afternoon place for him, but I thought there would be other children in his class that he would go to school with.
I have 4 older children and never been in this situation before. Can anybody offer any advice?
