Between the Chilterns and the Thames, closer to everything than you think

Reading sits in a sweet spot. Fast trains to London, the Thames on one side, the Chilterns on the other. It doesn't have the glamour of some southern cities but the family infrastructure is solid. Caversham across the river has a village feel despite being part of Reading. Prospect Park is good, the Oracle riverside area in the centre is pushchair-friendly, and you're a short drive from proper countryside.

Prospect Park is the most-used family spot. Big playground, a bandstand area, and a miniature railway that runs on weekends. Caversham Court Gardens along the Thames is a calmer option for a pushchair walk. The museum in town is free and runs toddler activities. Dinton Pastures just outside Reading has lakes, nature trails, and a good playground. The Rivermead Leisure Centre has a baby pool. Reading's children's centres run a decent range of free sessions, and there are active toddler group networks in Tilehurst, Earley, and Woodley.

Areas We'll Cover in Reading

Reading is practical rather than flashy. Parents here are well-connected through local networks and there's a pragmatic, get-on-with-it attitude. The diversity of the town means baby groups often reflect a broad mix of backgrounds.
