Hello
We are relocating from South London to Geneva at the end of June. Eeek!
We have gone through lots and lots of research but I have hit a couple of conundrums that I know wiser heads might be able to advise on!
I have an older daughter - 15years - and we are looking to transfer her from GCSE into the IB system. Has anyone else done this and did it work out?
I also have 2 year old twin girls who will be 3 in November. Im looking for Kindergartens/pre-schools as opposed to a creche and I wondered if there is a Swiss version of Ofsted? Im just not sure how on earth to go about "checking" on them? I will visit of course but is there a CRB check for example? How would I know?
Apart from these 2 questions (to be honest I have a thousand more) I would be so so grateful for any advice and other things that you may think I should know/consider.
I am excited about it but also quite nervous if Im honest. I have such a comfort blanket here in terms of knowing how everything works (have always lived in London) and I just want things to be really lovely for my girls. Its me who has got the job and my husband will be giving up work to look after things at home for a period of time until we get settled and can look for some nanny type help.......any ideas on that would also be very welcome.
Thank you SO MUCH.
