I'd prefer pre-school as I want Kat to have help with her talking. She's pretty good, but we feel she's behind thanks to being able to talk baby talk to Jess most of the time and she's just soooo stubborn! Jess too needs some time with other kids. Willow, I think 2yrs is a good age to introduce them to other kids etc. It's a good age to encourage them to grow and learn....
I heard that "Little Joey's" at Cambridge pk is good, but DH wants me to put it off for a bit longer as we can't afford that and the kitchen renos we are trying to save for and have done in April. So no point me really checking it out till then....
Goodluck Willow....hope you find a great place!
