C on Peanut: Keep in private nursery or go to school nursery in September

Hi everyone, I want your opinions especially the mamas who have little ones in private nursery already. So my son is at private nursery Mon-Wed (8am-6pm although we pick him up at 5) and in September he can either have these days for free (30 hours) or go to a local school nursery 5 days a week but 9am-3pm. I’m in 2 minds of what to do because as you all know he’ll be the youngest in the year just turning 3 in august then going to nursery with 4 year olds in September, so he may be better off in the private nursery for another year before reception until he’s emotionally ready. Or shall I send him to school nursery as he’ll be in 5 days a week and I think he’s intelligent enough as he can speak quite well and articulate what he wants and it may bring him on more. What are you all doing with your August babies?
