Hi all, wanted to say thanks for all your advice re houses / areas to live etc. My husband and I came to Brussels last week and settled on a house in La Hulpe. It seems like a lovely area and it will save hubby having to fight with too much traffic on his way to work in LLN. We should be moving in 1st Aug, I'm quite excited about the move now!
I now have a couple of other questions, I hope you dont mind. I've contacted several Maternelles in the area and have had a positive reply from 4 so I think we're coming back in a week or so to go and look at them all. Does anyone have any recommendations for Maternelles here? There ones we heard from are:
Ecole Communale "Les Colibris"
Ecole Fondamentale Libre Notre-Dame
Ecoline Rosieres
Ecole Communale de Maubroux - from the websites I like the look of this one.
As well as Maternelles, I need to start thinking about Creches. I will be having a baby in October and returning to work April / May next year so will need to start thinking about these as well. I did do a google search but havent come up with much. Anybody have any suggestions of places to look?
And my last question...So we'll be arriving in Brussels 1st Aug and baby due 4th Oct, which doesnt give me much time to get doctors / hospitals sorted etc. Anyway aside from that, I read somewhere that Mutuelle cover doesnt start until 6 months after you join, does this mean we'll be liable for the costs associated with giving birth? And if so, any idea how much are we talking about? We will have health insurance though hubbys job as well.
Sorry for all the questions! I have contacted BCT but wasn't able to proceed with registration until now as I didnt have a local address to give them.
Many thanks!!
