Hi Paul, I just red your post again and I don't see you say that you were looking for a Brit only compound so someone is confused here I think. Anyway, as stated, you should look for somewhere close to your work as driving in rush hours here can make for long journeys. For your budget you should have plenty of choice with good facilities. I don't know of any compounds that have nurseries included, they may exist but driving around there seem to be nurseries all over the place - probably get good advice if you get to a short list from other QL posters. I have been here almost one year, not found anything I can't get back home except rain. Good luck, the experience will be whatever you want to make it!
