Weather and good nurseries in Plymouth

[lovelylucy]

Dear all,

We are planning to relocate to either Plymouth or Eastbourne next year and now comparing these two places for weather, education (nursery for 2-year old etc.).

I would like to get your advice on the weather (is it really bad during winter - rain a lot , very windy, cannot do outdoor stuff etc.?) and the nurseries (quality of local nursery etc.).

Besides, is the central Plymouth area (the Hoe) good / suitable for living?

We plan to rent for 12 months or more before buying a property.

Thanks in advance for all your help on this.

Cheers
LL

I don't know what Eastbourne's weather is like but Plymouth is quite windy and rainy - it all comes in from the south-west. I lived on the Hoe but have now moved a couple miles further inland and I miss the lovely, fresh air. When its a crappy winter's day there'a not an awful lot to do - soft play x 2, swimming (very busy on weekends), aquarium, Eden Project 50 min drive.
As for nurseries, there's a good selection but I don't speak from experience as my DD only went to pre-school. Margaret Macmillan nursery is a nice one though, lovely big walled garden.

Plymouth is lovely and the Hoe area would be great to live. I second Margaret Macmillan, too.
