Times have changed since I was a child and was at home with my mother until the age of 4 1/2. When do you think that a child should start nursery and then also school?

It is really a parents choice as to if they wish to send their child to nursery. I think nursery is a great place for children to learn to socialize. Children can start KG1 at 3 1/2 years old. Schools are looking for children who are independent when going through the process of choosing applicants. I think it is important to make the decision on your child and there needs. Each child is different. As the parent, you will see what they need in terms of more socialization and if they are ready for a more academic setting. Good luck with making the decision. I think it best for you to check out a few nursery and schools to get a feel for what would be best for your child.
