Hi
My DH, DS (currently 18 months) and I will be moving to Brussels for 3 years this autumn.
DH will be working near the Schuman metro. I will work for myself at home.
We'll be gone by the time he starts school at 5. But the plan is to put him in a private nursery (unless state is an option?) once we arrive, then transfer him into the maternelle (?) when he turns 2.5.
We're living in London so are well aware of the chicken/egg situation with schools, catchment areas etc. We wouldn't want to find a great house/neighbourhood, only to move in and discover all the schools are full and we can't access any.
We will have help picking houses but would like to be as informed as possible going into the process.
Any advice on neighbourhoods that offer:
House with garden (3 beds, could probably stretch to 1.9k)
Greenery/parks/playground
Decent public transport (I don't drive)
Local shops etc (so not too suburban)
A good chance of getting into a French speaking maternelle
A local crèche for before he's 2.5
Any suggestions gratefully received
