Is Denmark the best Scandinavian country to raise kids ?

Hello,

A while ago, I had posted this question : https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.p … 89#3980578

So, my questions to this forum are :

1) Is Denmark the best country to raise kids ? ( By best, I mean, the cheapest on out of pocket expenses, has some sort of an education system which assists the kids to figure out what they want to do and excel in it, and has no or very little child crime (pedophiles and the sorts, etc)
2) Is healthcare free in Denmark?
3) Is education free in Denmark?

The kids are 3 and 1.5 respectively. In another 5 years, I want to settle down on where I want to live the rest of me life. I don't mind/care high taxes (who could tax higher than Australia anyway). It has to be a successful welfare state.

Recently, my family had to go through a bereavement and this has further augmented my need to move. I live in regional Australia - so connectivity to India was very little. Wherever we decide to move should have excellent flight connectivity to India. Copenhagen seems to be the obvious choice. However, compared to Sweden, do the populace speak English ? Is housing affordable and available ? medicare and health care ?

Cheers,
