Hello,
I'm 35 and I'm expecting my first baby (due in September). We are looking to buy a family house in Chesham. This weekend I visited Chesham for the first time and saw a suitable one in a nice area, however I have a few concerns. Maybe someone was in similar situation and can advise on the following?
- The house is a few minutes walk from a Little Spring School, but Ofsted rating is not encouraging. Should I even consider that school or is it better to look for another opportunity? And in that case, what are the best schools in Chesham?
- As I don't drive, it seems a bit scary to me having to walk down and up hills with baby buggy. How is the transport in Chesham? How other non-driving mums manage that?
- Once the baby is born, I will be on my own for the most of the time - my partner works very long hours and we don't have any family in the UK, I will also be leaving my friends in London, so I'm afraid that I will feel quite lonely. I've read that there are groups for mums in Chesham, but are they located mainly near the town center?
- How is living in the north part of Chesham in general? Would that be very inconvenient for a non-driver to do the shopping or go to the fitness club?
If anyone can share their insights, I would appreciate a lot!
