Worcester, Evesham or somewhere in between

[MyQuirkyHedgehog]

Hey, firstly I apologise there are a lot of similar posts but wanted to ask my own, my family and I are relocating to Worcestershire for many reasons - namely a fresh start. We love the area so sold on that and we have a 4 year old and almost 2 year old, 3 cats and 2 dogs. Our current house is due to go on the market shortly.

We can't necessarily decide on Evesham, Worcester or somewhere in between. There must a train station fairly nearby to get back to Oxford. A school for my son from September and childcare for my daughter who we believe has SEN and will need additional support.

Somewhere we can explore and have fun living in a new area and learning. Good food, good community etc. We do need a house with a garden and 3 bedrooms, ideally 2 toilets and parking or parking nearby would be perfect. Not particularly fussed I dont think outside of that. Really hoping to throw ourselves into a local community and make new friends. Can't begin to tell you how excited I am to move, it's the next chapter for us in a beautiful area.
So any recommendations please? Thank you :)

How did you get on with the sale and house move? Considering a move too and would love to hear your experience!

Hey, we have sold our house and bought a house in Worcester, so we hope to move by September although we are in a chain.. We love the city and everyone there has been friendly and helpful. The schools officer at the council has been helpful and we have been able to secure childcare for our youngest. I am nervous as it is such a big move but equally so excited about the move. So far the experience has been great overall, the estate agents have been helpful with sharing knowledge about the area and accommodating for us to travel to the area and view houses. The house we have bought I just love and suits our family perfectly. Good luck if you do move, I know it will get more stressful for us before we do but I have zero doubt and know we have made the right decision.

Congratulations on the sale and having things lined up! Without saying the name of the provider, what type of childcare did you secure (childminder or nursery)? We put our house on the market last week and are trying to do exactly as you (aiming for September school start) with the Worcester move. Doesn’t seem to be a lot on the market that we like, though. Trying not to feel stressed but we’re so much earlier in the process- it’s easier to feel calm when you don’t have a house to dream about moving into!

Thank you :) we have gone for Nursery as this is what we feel suits our daughters SEN needs. We have found everyone to be very helpful along the way so I am sure you will get the support and advice you need. It took us a month to work out what areas of Worcester we liked too and the rest followed i.e. schools and nursery - Good luck! Please feel free to message me if you want more information

Ours is on the market! Buy ours
