    It depends on the kindergarten though N2L. I pulled DS2 out of his prior to school because he hated it and the way it was run, there was no education and all free play. I could, and did, prepare him better for school myself and he has not suffered from his lack of pre school "education".

    However the twins' daycare is a fabulous educational establishment, despite it being a childcare centre rather than a kinder. They have really begrown whilst being there but I still would not have sent them if I didn't have to in order to attend uni.

    Sorry he had such a bad experience Trav. Don't let it put you off! If you want to know of some good kinders in your area PM me. My mum knows who's who down your way

    Thanks N2L that's very kind, but I am going to have no choice but to leave them in childcare until school because of uni. But they're learning so much there I'm pretty happy with the placement. Hopefully their teachers will not change jobs in the next years and a half
