Andi we are having similar issues with parking, if I have dd2 and ds it can take 10 minutes to get to the school by the time we park and walk. Then I have them scream when we have to leave as they love playing there. We have to be there 30 minutes beforehand to be close which isn't very practical.

Hope your ds settles in soon, surprisingly dd1 is thriving and wants to go she was really anxious before school started. We do have Wednesdays off for first term though.
