Many thanks for all this feedback it is really helpful ! X

I applied to Ivydale !!! And got the same letter not really saying much and with my daughters name typed incorrectly. Although they came highly recommended by my health visitor I have had nothing but bad experiences from the school starting with being told I couldn't visit the nursery or the school ( was keen to see what it was like prior to application) !!! And when I phoned back and pushed I was then asked when my daughter's birthday was, and then promptly told that she wouldn't get a place anyway as she would be one of the youngest and they only take the oldest !!!! I was left open mouthed ....

I would probably agree but it is a lottery ...and may not get in at Reception !!! So am wondering if just to go for the Nursery that is the best ? The school nearest to us has a good Nursery ...but it is full with siblings. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks

Hi I am looking to hear about your experiences of Fairlawn and Goodrich Road school ! Many Thanks

Hi I am thinking about having a live out nanny, but have no idea of the cost! What is the going rate ? and what are the usual hours ? Would really appreciate some feed back as have no idea, and we are currently weighing up our options as we have more than one child ! Thanks in advance x
