About to move to Paisley!

[onelittletreasure]

Moving to Paisley in next few weeks, with our 18 month old. Never been to Scotland before, and will be returning to the UK after living in Europe, so will be big jump! Anyone got any tips??

Wow, that will be a big jump for you! I live in Glasgow and love it here.

My children weren't littles in this part of the country but I am sure there will be people along who know about those sort of things.

We have started having quite regular meet-ups in Glasgow, and its dead easy to get into Glasgow from Paisley by car or on the train. Watch the meet up thread in this section and hopefully we will see you sometime!!

All the best with the move.

meet-up sounds good. Am fairly new on here too, so will have to trawl around to find that one.

In Mumsnet Local - Glasgow look just under this thread and you shoudl see it. We met on Monday so nothing more planned at the moment - it will probably be a couple of weeks at least.

Great! Thanks!

Anyone got any top nursery tips??

I used to live in Paisley (now in Glasgow) but that was before we had DD so I don't know much about stuff for kids there. As Weegiemum said, Glasgow is really close and there is loads to do with littlies. Check out this website, it has lots of info.

Hope to see you at the next Glasgow meet-up.

Just remembered - it was the Paisley swimming pool that our kids went to for lessons for a while (couldn't get in closer) and they loved it. Think they do stuff from babies upwards - Paisley Lagoon Centre.

We still go there sometimes as our youngest is old enough to go on the slide there on her own!

Thanks for the website - really good, and good to hear we can keep up with the swimming (even though DDs current poolside activity is trying to sit on ALL off the loungers, one by one.....)

LOL onelittletreasure, that sounds like a fun thing to do at the pool!

Hiya, theres a restaurant in Paisley that has a soft play area attached to it and also theres a big soft play centre called the big adventure.

Aw great - all sounds really good stuff, thanks!! We currently live in Germany in the back of beyond, so really looking forward to getting somewhere with so much to do!

Which area of Paisley are you moving to? My sister lives there so might be able to get you some good advice.

Thanks for the advice! I don't know what the area of Paisley is called, but the postcode is PA2. Does that help? I fancy doing sth in the evening, provided I can negotiate the time with DH!!
