The Nursery School is about a 10 minute drive away from our home and very direct. (Gotta love that!) I was met by the Nursery director, an Australian, who assured me that they were very pleased to have Monet attend, beginning next term. (April 19th) A well set-out Nursery with lots of rooms (Art room, reading room, singing room, indoor gym, reading nook plus a huge grassed area in the back along with a gigantic shaded play area and a sandpit about the size of a small house!) and it was a relief to see it for myself with Monet in tow.
I have been ringing nursery schools since mid-January only to be told time and time again that the 4 year old positions were full to the max. I was about this close to getting onto a nursery school a few weeks back but it seemed like I just missed out on a position. (always the way!!)
Last week I thought, feck it, I'll ring around again, you just never know. Well, that is true. You just never know what will come up. I *knew* when I rang this nursery (one I really wanted to get into because of its proximity to here and was told it was quite good) that something could be available because the woman on the phone said, how old is your daughter? can I ring you back in like 20 minutes? Well, it seems like I was meant to ring at that particular time because, as fate would have it, a child Monet's age was exiting at the end of this term and they had just been notified of this.
*one weight lifted off Melody's shoulders*
We went in today, to have a tour and a meet and greet and fill out some forms. Copies of passports, visas, vaccinations, birth certificates were handed in and I have to return with some passport photos of Monet along with the (hefty) registration fee. (Nothing to do with the fees for the term which are due in the week Monet begins!)
But we are happy. Not only is Monet all ready and happy to go to Kinder, I am happy to be out and about on the roads with confidence!

You don't say how long or often the sessions are, but it will leave you with some free time. What will you do with it besides miss Miss Monet?
Wow - how wonderful for you and Monet!!
Monet will be attending 5 days a week for any hours we choose. Probably 5 hour stints I'd say (8 till 1) - up here for thinking re:me - get her nice and tired so she'll be off to bed nice and early....yes, it is all about me.... Of course I'll miss her like crazy but it'll be good for both of us....
This is so great, like you say...for all of you.
Can I suggest a 9-2 timeslot though? I think that would work better with getting everyone ready in the mornings. Btw....what time is peak hour in the traffic?
Do they supply food or will you be up early (like me) making snacks and lunch?
