Right Age to Start School: Nursery Admission Age & Readiness Guide
Choosing the right age to get admission in nursery is one of the first big decisions every parent makes, and it matters just as much as picking the right schools and education environment for your child. Most experts and NEP 2020 guidelines suggest around 3 years for Nursery and 6 years for Class 1, but age alone isn't the whole story — learning by age also means watching for emotional, social, and cognitive readiness, like following instructions, communicating with peers, and staying curious about books and numbers.
