Hiya

I'm thinking of moving from Ireland to Reunion sometime in January. Can any one give me any advice as how to go about looking for childcare or playschool for my 3 year old daughter??! What is the cost of living in Reunion? Any info that could help with my decision would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Would you believe that I and my family (we've two kids 2.5 and 3.5) moved to Reunion three weeks ago from Dublin!

Loving it here. In the school year just begun they are taking in children born in 2008. You'll get assigned a school by the local Marie (town hall, there are lots of them) so it's actually very easy.

As for prices it's not as cheap as a developing world country, cheaper than Ireland certainly but more expensive than metropolitan France for some things (especially cars!). But like a lot of things it depends on how you live, if you want to live reasonably you certainly can.

Hi lusean,

Welcome to expat-blog!

Please note that this thread is quite old, I suggest you to create a new topic on the Reunion Island forum for better visibility and interaction.

Thank you,

David.

Hi Marie, we left Reunion in 2017 for mainland France after five wonderful years there. The hospitals are french so European standard. We loved life there, though you will need to speak french and have employment sorted as there aren’ t many options for work on the Island
