OverTheRainbows

...so Virginia Water was very pleasant and child-friendly as promised! - no bus, unfortunately, and about half an hour's walk from the station (VW itself; don't know if there is a better route?)

I'm so glad it's not just me...currently literally nauseous with worry about nursery admissions...would have mocked myself so much as a middle-class cliche pre-motherhood...can more people tell us it's going to get better, please?!

Great, thanks - will let you know about the bus (or lack of) if we try it!

Hi canela - Virginia Water looks nice...do you know how long it takes to walk from the station? Thanks!

I'm also over your way rather than East Dulwich so hope okay to post here - looking for similar so will watch this thread with interest!

There *doesn't* have to be a rigid cut-off point somewhere; check out the Scottish system: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2012/05/7940/4 In light of reports like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-21699054, time for change in England?? Really difficult to decide whether deferring would be better or not in the current system here...
