Feeb- to answer your queries, I think you'll have a more rounded idea of where your DS is at once the meeting of all those involved with his care have 'compared notes' so to speak? When does your DS turn 5?

i know for *me* Iwish I'd taken up the kinder deferment option for DD1 when they were available but our council (and most from what the DOE rep was saying) will no longer be offering deferment options as of next year
How do you mean deferment option not available?? I am under the thought that kinder can apply for extra year of funded kinder for DS1 and I can defer DS2 till year after.

He will be 5 in July.
