What would you do?

"The policy in our education area is that all children start school in the year they turn five. Not only would my triplets be among the youngest in the class, they were born at 29 weeks. Thankfully they do not have any disability, but they are still small and they are still catching-up in their language and motor development. The preschool says they cannot stay there any longer-especially as they take-up three places! Neither the preschool nor the school seem to listen when I say that if they had been born when they should have been, they would not be five till the next year. I feel I'm being treated like some neurotic mum, who does not want to let go of her babies, so they can start at school."

What advice would you give this family?
