That's reassuring Cookie. There seems to be a great young kids group that meets once a week we could go to but it's right in the middle of my wee ones' nap time so I guess I can keep that on the back burner. The one good thing about our local Montessori (and at first I thought this was a huge negative)is that it doesn't close for the school holidays so if she needs more interaction away from mum we can slot her in anytime.

Thanks everyone
