Questions regarding nursery place at local school

[mrs.lotte]

Damzel, at Goose Green nursery a child is eligible for a place starting the term after they are 3. They have just allocated the places for September (I know because my daughter has one but we live very close by and she has a sibling at the school) not sure if they have allocated the January spaces yet. It is a popular nursey but it is quite big so worth applying for. Speak to the lovely Donna in the office or the Early Years Co-ordinator Leanne Harfield; they will be able to give you a good idea as to teh outer limit of their catchment area.

The school nursery places do not seem to be set up for working parents with their hours etc.

>Is it a big deal if they go straight into reception?

Personally I don't think it is a big deal - I think given the shortage of school nursery places in SE22 (I live on Jennings and my daughter didn't get into Heber nursery, I live literally opposite the nursery entrance gate, no-one can live closer! However, allocation for September was ALL siblings), many children will go into reception class from some other type of childcare - nanny/childminder/private nursery/parental care, in fact I'd even make a guess that most kids entering reception haven't previously attended a school nursery.
