Sorry i wasn't on yesterday, as you can see i was busy running around checking out schools for C and i have found a nice one and they offered him to start today so we decided to go for it!
I saw one that had a tiny classroom that honked of poo, it was disgusting i didn't want to breathe. I refuse to send my child there even if it was free.
The school he's at is R1280pm (it's the most expensive in the area and it is a catchment school for a brilliant primary school) which I didn't think was too bad? all food and snacks included, all activities included (friday they have a jumping castle day) they sent us home a booklet with menu's and timetables, yearly activity/event planner. They have decent wooden jungle gyms in the garden play areas. They have a TV room for when it's raining outside so in the 'free play' time they don't all get bored in the classroom and if you have to drop them off before class starts they can watch a movie while they wait for everyone to arrive.
His teacher phoned now to say he did cry when he realized we were gone but he's o.k now but he refused to eat lunch, but that can also be because they gave him Samp which he's never had before.
