Just wanted other parent's feedback. DD's JESS assessment was today and we're hoping it went well. She didn't seem to enjoy it entirely and left a little early, but the head teacher did say that she managed to communicate well. I'm hoping that they'll finalise her place for her... and shudder to think what would happen if they don't.... we no longer have a second option!

Thanks but we are both Ranches so maybe Jumeriah will follow soon :) TSmith99 I was wondering does your lo know anyone else starting at Jess?, I'm feeling bad that my DD is so enjoying her nursery and making friends only to have to start all over not knowing anyone, wonder if our two might be in the same class?

Nope we only went for the assessment last Weds and are now waiting, so I guess they have a LOT of children coming in. I suppose there were around 10 on our day and if there are 22 in each class 3 x fs1 and 3 x fs2 then I guess it will take a while to see everyone? Oh just noticed your were talking about the Jumeriah branch, I was commenting on Ranches, but guess it would be similar? <em>edited by JShepherd on 06/03/2011</em>

My son went today and I'm really not sure either. He was really tired and a bit miserable and therefore not v sociable! I'm so worried as we also don't have a back up plan. I'm not sure he will have done any of the below in the mood he was in! They said acceptance letters were coming out by 1st week in March, that is such a long time to wait and find out. Good luck Lemondrops, fingers crossed for us both.

Yep, DD's assessment was at JESS Jumeirah. We didn't really do much to prepare; it's not like we had a cooperative two year old on our hands. I was told at this stage all the teachers want is to assess that the child can communicate his/her needs clearly, can socialise and play with others and is potty trained. Anything else is a plus, although DH did tell me that they asked children to count to ten, recite their ABC's and identify colours.
