Hi everyone,
Looking for some honest advice on living in Berkshire with small kids!
We are moving to Berkshire from Copenhagen DK this fall as DH has a new job in Maidenhead. Neither of us have been there to see it so this is a big move for us! We have two small children (both under 3) and are looking for a place that is good for little ones (ie. close to parks/green areas, close to shops/attractions, close to good nurseries, etc.). We are a very active family who currently bike/walk everywhere so finding a place that's easy to get around is important to us. We will have a car, but would like to know we can walk/bike to shops, doctor appointments, etc., if possible?!
We have a decent housing budget and have considered Twyford, Bray, Cookham, Henley-on-Thames, etc. We've also considered Windsor, but the commute (by car) might not be ideal... anyone have any insight on this?
Unfortunately we've never been to any of these places... Due to COVID-19, we haven't had a chance to go to Berkshire and see it for ourselves. I'm a little worried about the culture shock, especially going from a bigger city to smaller towns with kids, but we look forward to living closer to the countryside and green areas :)
We're doing the best we can with online research, but it's tough to make decisions on where to live without being there in person. I'm not too familiar with Mumsnet, but I thought it was a good place to start asking for advice. Grateful for any/all honest advice on this topic!
Thanks :)
