We are going through the process of altering our admissions to enable us to take children from a younger age. It is not something that we jumped in to.
We approached all local nurseries, schools, pre-schools and playgroups. We had a very positive response from all involved, especially parents old and new.
I am upset to read the letter from Andrea Warren, as I feel it gives school nurseries a negative image. Maybe she has a negative opinion of school units because she knows little of them or has seen bad practices. I would like to let her know that we are providing a stimulating, appropriate learning environment where all children are learning through play. Why would she think that just because we are part of the school we will do things differently to pre-schools or day nurseries?
