My middle son is a November baby so started school when he was 4 years & 9 months old, he was 5 two months after starting school and I loved having him with me for the extra year I wish I could have had an extra year with my 1st and 3rd but they are both March babies. They all went to nursery (not pre school Prikki ) the term after their 3rd Birthday but only for either 3 hrs, 5 days a week for my first born and 4 hrs for 3 days a week for my other two
