Hi all,
We currently live in Sutton and are thinking of moving to Berkshire next spring/summer, my daughter is in year 3 - we are thinking ideally we would move so that she has a couple of years at primary school to settle and make friends before going up to big school.
The husband and I both work in west/central London so we need good transport links into Paddington and we want to be closer to our mums who both live in Oxon (Banbury and Uffington), both our dad's have died in the last couple of months which has prompted the desire to be closer to our mums.
So... we are thinking Maidenhead, Taplow, Burnham?? - what areas would you recommend or avoid? What schools would you recommend? I'm more interested in hearing whether children are happy at a school than what Ofsted says!
Also, I'll be moving there without knowing anyone which is a bit terrifying, I made all my friends here when dd was a baby through going to groups. You don't have those when they are older so I would love to live in a friendly area where there is a sense of community?
Any help at all to narrow our search down would be great! We've got up to £420k budget and would like a 2 double bed house. Where shall I start looking?
Help!!
Thanks so much!
