The class starts from 1 year old.  U can send enrollment form 2 months before the kid goes 1

just started the playgroup at nottingham this week for their summer term... honestly, was quite disappointed... the classroom was so small that it's so crowded to fit in 6 kids and 6 adults and 2 tutors!!!!!!!! and the air conditioning is also very poor that... can't tolerate at all...

and, i was so surprised that the activities were not really designed for kids at 1-2, and the tutors just walking around, and "blowing water"...  i guess.. the class fee will be probably wasted... as i probably wont' go anymore...

i do think that the classroom size is very very small, kids can't move at all.. but maybe that's what they target... to have a more "disciplinary approach".. (which i don't agree, as having discipline doesn't mean to sit still and not move)
for the teacher to students ratio, i think it's OK, as 1 teacher + 1 assistant: 6 students (+ 6 parents)...

for the teaching quality, depends what you'd expected... i do think that the teachers are having "accent"...

no matter what, i suggest you go and have a look at the environment before enrolling any courses... apart from teaching quality, i do think that the environment and hygiene are really important in learning...

其實聽家長講NCC入面, MISS ANGEL是較出名的, 但她只教足兩歲的小朋友, 我囡囡都是兩歲起入讀, 由MISS ANGEL教, 我完全不覺佢有印度口音, 英文好清楚, 遇到生字還會特別慢些讀出來, 佢亦好鼓勵小朋友讀到生字出來的

Hi mosesmom, thanks for sharing different opinions!  So far, I have only heard positive feedbacks.  Nottingham has offered a place for my 13.5 mths old boy for the upcoming autumn term which takes up to end of Nov.  Since there is no trial class, it will mean a waste of money and time if it turns out to be a wrong choice.  I have requested for school visit but might not be able to observe anything close to how an actual class runs, maybe just the school environment.

What do you think of their hygiene?  And the indian accent issue, is it really that bad?
