Forgive me good people of the family room for I am bad at maths and have also received conflicting info from the council.. My little baba was born Novemember '09 - when will he start school - Reception class not preschool. Does every primary school have a pre school? When do they start that? Do private nurseries offer the free hours you receive once they are 3ish? Ie the Villa. Thanks in advance for all your wisdom. Fushia I nearly pm'd you directly as I know your brilliant at all this stuff - it felt a little presumptuous having only virtually 'met' you!

He will start school when he is rising 5, the Sept before he is 5

So that's Sept 2014.


He is likely to get a place in a school nursery the year before - Sept 2013


Although he is eligible for the 15h free nursery education from the start of the term after he is three - so from Jan 2013. In the past the school nursery would have had a Jan intake when children joined the Jan reception intake but schools now take in to reception only in Sept


The 15h free education should be offered by most private providers also, and according to the rules has to be offered with no strings or top up fees... so you can't be forced to pay for extra sessions or meals etc


Southwark LA should have a list of private nurseries that offer the 15h.


Most schools have nurseries attached but not all. A place in the nursery doesn't guarantee a place in the school.


Schools tend to offer 5 mornings or 5 afternoons, term time only - private nurseries are more flexible and the time can be spread across a minimum of 3 days, or stretched out over 52w of the year

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
