Hello - really hoping someone can help me understand local state nurseries. I'm a way off but would like to get my head around how it all works. I'm assuming there's less of a catchment issue than at the same school for a reception start? But is there any guarantee that your child would have a place at that school if you sent them to the nursery. If, for instance, I sent my son to Heber nursery, might I then find he didn't get a place there for reception onwards and would have to go to whichever school he did get a place at. Is my understand pretty much correct or am I totally misunderstanding the system. Thanks
