If all else fails, and I know its not ideal, then since DDs nursery place is, as you say, non compulsory, then could you ask them if its ok to drop her off a bit late each day ? I know its not ideal but she would still get a couple of hours there, and she is young enought o not be bothered by arriving later than the others, and even if she was, it would soon become routine to her.

Of course it is always worth asking this, but I have never been so intimidated by a teacher as I always was by the Nursery head where my 3 boys started! It was a completely separate nursery, and you KNEW she had the best interests of the children at heart, BUT she was a real stickler for punctuality (both dropping off and picking up.

According to HER our children were traumatised by NOT being there at the start of each day, or if they were ever the last child to be collected. Which was all very well, but she didn't have to GET each child there promptly each day, while also juggling one or two other children, who were less concerned about their sibling's need to be at nursery on time than their own need for a clean nappy / feed / tantrum ...

Ah, those were the days ...

Zzigi, What time would your DD finish if she went to the PM session instead at nursery would it be enough time to get from one school to another that way?

i thought about that option. Only problem is i would have exactly the same issue but at the other end of the day. DS finishes at 3.15, DD at 3.20......
