Changing nursery/pre school
Hi, my daughter is 3 and has been going to the same nursery since she was 10 months. She is happy there and has friends etc. We get the 30 hours funding but they still have a consumables and activities fee so it’s costs us around £130 a month for her to do 2 days a week. It’s long days too and she gets so tired and overwhelmed by the end of the day. We now have twins who will likely be starting in January so that’s another £130 a month each for them, so £260 for the twins alone, £390 for all of them to stay at the same place! For this reason we are considering moving our daughter to a different preschool from September that will be shorter days and only cost us £20 a month (big difference) The new place is lovely, a bit smaller, and she does already have a friend who goes there. But I just feel guilty taking her away from where she knows.
After some advice or opinions from anyone who has moved their child and if it’s all been ok and you had no regrets?
Thanks.

Following as I’m in the same position - we have moved house and my son who is almost 3.5 years old has been going to his nursery since 1.5 years old. We are changing him to a new nursery (we now live almost 45 mins away from our old house) and I feel guilty about taking him away from everyone he knows there.
My daughter is just over 3 years old, and I moved her from her preschool to a childminder recently, and I was worried because she had lots of little friends at her last place, but she absolutely prefers the childminder, hands down. All the kids are new faces - there’s 15 of them, and three members of staff, and she’s slotted in just fine. She didn’t even need any settling in.
