Relocating to Livingston with my wife pregnant with our first baby

[Bishoppapi]

Hi,
This is my first post and I would appreciate your kind options and suggestions here. I currently live in Gilmerton Edinburgh but myself and my wife have decided to move to Livingston to rent a bigger apartment because we are expecting our first baby soon. My questions are 1. Is Livingston a good place to live for family 2. Are the preschools, primary and secondary schools very good? 3. How is life and living in Livingston.

Any idea please?

Hi Mumsneters in Livingston/Edinburgh,

This is my first post and I would appreciate your kind opinions and suggestions here. We currently live in Gilmerton area of Edinburgh but we don't really like the property where we are living currently. We have visited Livingston West Lothian and seem to like the place. Also we are expecting our first child and therefore want a bigger house and space. So I just wanted to know if Livingston West Lothian is a good place to live for families and if moving from Edinburgh to Livingston is a good idea. Secondly, as we are now thinking of good schools for our baby, I would like to know if there are pretty good schools in Livingston. I would appreciate a short overall assessment of life in Livingston and if moving there is a good plan. Thank you.
