Any tips for a mum new to the Netherlands?!

[Newtonetherlands]

Hi all,

I've just moved close to Hilversum in the Netherlands and would love to hear from anyone who is close by? I have so many questions, firstly, where are all the parks with swings and slides? Also, where do you buy kids clothes? I have only been here a week but keen to get out there, just don't know where to start!!

Thanks in advance all!

Hi Newto,

I was a newbie too... not that long ago. Welcome and good luck. It's a nice place!

There have been quite a few threads on Hilversum here. Try this one for starters:

Thanks Newbie! I didn't really know how to navigate this forum so that is a real help.

I'm not in Netherlands, but you find kids' clothes in Hema, H&M :)

We have a Benelux mumsnetters group (secret group). Pm me if you'd like to join.

Are you on the Amsterdam mamas Facebook group? It is very helpful.

Thanks KiaOra!

Daisy, I'll look it up - thank you!

Children's clothes from the Hema, Primark, and Marks and Spencer online. And Sainsbury's and Tesco when you're visiting relatives.
