slowly, cf and gg, so sorry I didn't make it but ended up with DS at the dr's, he;'s come out with a nasty virus which explains why he hasn't been dropping off to sleep till bloomin' 10pm at night!!! I am sorry not to have met you though, if you are doing it again I am still interested!
Hi Tallysmummy - well, you get a recommendation for Lee on Solent from me, anyway! We moved here in January and it's the best move we ever made, we LOVE being so near the sea, and I find Lee is perfect for those with young children as the high street has just enough to keep you busy on a Sat am - library, bakery, craft shop, etc.....there are 2 or 3 pre-schools, and the local infants has a brilliant ofsted, the best I've read! Says everything is 'outstanding' basically. My DS will go there in Sept.
I prefer the older houses around the centre of lee, but of course there are lots of new ones at Cherque Farm (prob about a 15 min walk in to high street and beach?) though something you might want to check out ---- a fellow pre-school mum told me that the education authority specifically say that they do not have to guarantee a school place from now on, if the family is living in new built accommodation!
but I'd say go for it, being here this summer has been just lovely
