ECCE question

frash · 2019-06-10 08:28:45

I've searched but haven't seen this answered before... My son is due to start primary in Sept 2021 when he'll be over 4.5. I naively assumed he'd get the 2 years ECCE in the 2 years prior to this. He was born in Jan 2017 and so according to this table won't be eligible for ECCE this year Birth date between Eligible…

Funnily enough I am going opposite way to the rest of you. My twins with a January due date were born a couple of weeks early in December 2016 so we were eligible to start ECCElast September. One has special needs and the other wasn’t yet toilet trained so I’m not starting them until September 2020. One is entitled to the overage exemption but not the other. Why can’t they leave it up to parents to decide!!!

Because its bureaucrats in an office who have no experience of how the early years sector & individual children/families work. These people work off manuals and box ticking.
