Jackiepars Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi all I'm new to the Forum and hope I'm posting in the correct place. My husband and I together with our two small children (2 year old and 2 week old!) currently live in Glasgow but my husband has just accepted a job in a hospital in the Mornington Peninsula. We expect to arrive in the next 4-6 months (back to back winters :-)). we will need to find a short term let for our arrival plus a longer term let once we've been there for a few weeks. It looks as though Mount Eliza probably ideal for families with small kids? We'll also be looking for nursery for our 2 year old and the little un once she gets to a year or so of age. Can anyone recommend good reliable nurseries for young kids? Do they tend to have a massive waiting list? I am 35 and my husband is 43 and we are keen socialisers loving a glass of wine and some good chat. We would be keen to meet up with any likeminded folk. Is the area quite sociable or do people tend to keep to themselves? I'd be very keen to meet mums with young kids too. best wishes and happy christmas!

Blade17 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Congrats on getting a job lined up before you land, it will make things so much easier. The Mornington Peninsula is a great place to live. Mt Eliza is very nice and perfectly fine for young families, but you might find more going on for younger kids in Mornington. I think you will also find it easier to get rentals in Mornington than Mt Eliza. I can't offer much info on nurseries, as our kids are older, but I understand that there is heavy competition for nursery places. Lots of young families in the area, so you won't find it too hard to find someone to share a bottle of wine with. Good luck on your move and hope all goes well for you in 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
