I've lived in Didcot for 3 years and absolutely loved it it's the best place to be a mum everything is accesssible by foot - the main shopping street/ cinema area is all pedestrianised great for children to run around. Great train connections - only slight down side is the restaurant and cafe choice is poor but with 3 children centres in the town you will have a busy schedule for your little ones! In fact I miss it so much that I have set up with a friend a new facebook group for Mums in Didcot - it's a closed group for mums only to share experiences, discuss events in Didcot, etc.. so if you want to talk there - please join and invite your friends: www.facebook.com/groups/mumsindidcot/?ref=ts&fref=ts
Hope this is helpful to some of you moving to the area!
