Hi there,
I don’t have any experience of the Steiner school, I’m afraid, but just to reassure you that your daughter would be going into Reception, not Year 1 (you start school the September after you turn 4). In addition, if you have a summer-born baby, you can apply to defer their start by a year, so they join Reception just after they turn 5, not 4. This isn’t obligatory but it’s certainly possible - a friend who has a June baby has done just that, and her daughter only started Reception last month.
