Hi Hugh,

I also live in the eastern suberbs of Adelaide ( Magill area ) and I love it here I moved here about 3 months ago from the southern area of Adelaide Christies beach I loved it up there but to be honest I prefer the public schooling in the area I live in now,
my son has so many opurtunities in his new school ( Magill junior Primary ) it blows me away as to what subjects and opurtunities are available there and the teaching staff are so friendly and really care about the children, I am not familiar with the local kindergartens /preschools but have heard very good reports about them,

I also agree with Lucy I think that for day care the ABC centres are great as tehy offer an early learning programe to the children so it is very much like a pre school rather than just a place to drop your child off for a while so I would also recomend them.

It is hard because as Lucy said Adelaide is a very family friendly city and you will find good facilities almost everywhere, and feel free to ask as many questions as you need to I am happy to answer them or at least give it a go.

Good luck with everything
