We're heading off real soon now, and was wondering, will there be long waiting lists for trying to get my 3yr old into a playschool? Also, what roughly are the fees? Not 100% where we are going yet, but are probably heading for either helensvale, ashmore, or upper coomera. Any info would be a great help thanks.

Useful information, Thanks Claire,

Does say reading through it "Children's names are entered on a waiting list 2 years prior to the year of enrolment" which is a worry. All the playschool/pre school information I have found seems to suggest that there are long waiting lists.

How easy or hard have other expats with young children found trying to get them into a playschool/preschool without having had the opportunity to put there names down on waiting lists a long time in advance.

Thanks

I think most places are very accomodating. I would give them a call when the long holidays are up in Jan.

How can we refuse an offer like that

Can you PM me your number as not sure what I've done with it. Might have it something but then again don't know my arse from my elbow at the moment so might not have it either.

How thing going? All set and looking forward to christmas?

Bets seasonal wishes, have a great time and we'll see you soon.

Thanks.
