Searching for home for past 1 year

[ParentLookingforHouse]

Dear Parents,
I feel most of you might be in similar situation before, hence posting here. we are looking for houses since past 1 year(in between became parent), preferably 1-2 hours drive from london but always doubtful how our 13 months little ones will be taken care in new places. hence, we r planning to buy apartment in watford - I can see Union Court coming soon on website. Why watford - not too far from Harrow(currently staying and community thing as well)
Would like to know catchment area and hows school will look like for my little one in 3-4 years, how is childminer/nursery/schools there.
Which school is by far the good school?
Please suggest?

do you and / or partner not have to factor in work?

yes, I have to travel once/twice in a week to central london

Think you need to do just a little bit of research yourself

you’re asking both specific and very sweeping questions

What’s your budget? Which station do you need to get to? Number of bedrooms?

budget in within 2 bedroom apartment (<480k), I dont' mind anything within 50 mins commute time to central london.

Yes, agreed. Thats why very confused and searching for last 1 year.
Finally came down to go for apartment within london rather than moving out from london to get a house.
Making sure little one is taken care(a lot better childminer/day care in london) and his education going forward.
