Tink I've just applied for Xander's too. If he doesn't get a reception place at the school he already goes to I'll be gutted. Eeek I'm nervous already!

First day back at work is done :-) just on my way home to get Xander from school. I overslept and didn't take enough food with me though! I've felt sick all day for the fist time in ages. Must do better tomorrow :dohh:
 
I remember the stress of waiting to find out for a school place last year, I literally ended up staying up all night, thankfully he got into our first choice after all the stress - being an eager beaver I applied all the way in September so the wait felt like a lifetime, I hope you all get the schools you want.

I've just found out from my mum that my grandma has slipped into a coma and is not expected to make it through the night, she's been ill for a while but I never thought she wouldn't recover, me and my dad aren't so close so I haven't called him yet, I don't know what to say and for what I know he might have flown out already, I feel so guilty, should I have called already?. :(
 
Oh vanilla that sounds awful I'm so sorry about your grandma X

My little one is in school nursery and we've applied for a reception place too. Applied as soon as it opened in October and the date to find out is 17th April!! It's so hard waiting to hear, I've applied out of catchment too so v nerve wracking
 
My little boy is 2 in February I applied for his nursery place for when he turns 3 back in September. Haven't heard anything at all though. Not sure what the procedure is with it tbh. It's ridiculously out of catchment but my son goes to the junior school there so I really need him in the Same place. Hope they don't make me wait another year to find out haha
 
Around here you can just get into any school nursery you like after your third birthday and it's easy to get in. It's the reception place that has to be applied through the council for. And a nursery place doesn't guarantee a reception place at all. Which is why I'm worried because he loves the school nursery and is very settled and I'm hoping we get in to the reception in sept.

If he has a sibling in the school then that comes even before catchment in allocating places so you'll be totally fine rhi!

Thanks. Hope so. They implied it was first come first served. I don't know if it's a national problem or what but we have a serious school shortage in my town. They keep building houses and nothing else!
 
Boo we have to apply for nursery through the council too. I'll be so sad for him if he has to move after being there full time for a year.

Sorry to hear about your grandma Vanilla :hugs: it's always difficult with relatives you aren't close to. Will he be expecting you to call? Or maybe send a message?

I'm not sure what he's expecting, I'll probably wait till he gets back and call him then and hopefully he won't feel too bad.


I don't think there are any state nurseries in Bath or at least none that I've heard of so you only apply through the council for reception places, it would have been nice if the school had a nursery. I really hope your lo gets into the school, it would be unfair if he didn't.
 
We're in catchment so I'm hoping there won't be issues, he's starting at the school nursery there in a couple of weeks so it will be so ideal for him to go to the reception as he's not great with big changes and new places. Over the next 9 months it's going to be new house in a new town, new nursery, New sibling and no longer being an only child then fulltime school!

I've read that from 16 to 20 weeks baby quadruples it's size, maybe why I'm so hungry at the moment lol?
 
I don't know if I am having a boy or girl yet, but I can't stops thinking about this girl name.

I have my heart set on Nora. But I also was wanting to use Mary as the middle name. My late grandma was Mary and my husband's grandma is Mary.

Do you all think Nora Mary sounds good together?
 
I adore Nora. My lovely wee aunt that I lost this year was called and I liked Nora Rose for a girl.
 
I love Nora, I know a little 3 year old girl with that name and she is just beautiful x
 
thank you for the kind words guys, she passed on early this evening and thankfully dad had made it on time, I'm glad she didn't suffer in the end and passed away peacefully, she'd had a lot of illness for a long time.

Nora is a lovely name, it was on our list till DH said no, I think the combination sounds nice.
 
Tinkerbelle, exciting news about your new house!! Fingers crossed the moving process goes smoothly.

Vanilla, prayers to you and your family.
 
Thinking of you at this sad time Vanilla. Sending my thoughts to you and your family. Xx
