I have a bar job lined up 10-2 which is why I a enquiring about childcare, however bar work isn't all I would want to do, I am also a hairdresser! Spanish school has the same to offer as a British school, she will be staying in the uk till Christmas then joining a Spanish school in 2015
Please note that, as has already been stated, you will have to get written permission from the father of your child to take her to Spain, if he will not give permission, then you will have to get a court order.

why do you think there's a lot of negative feedback?
Other posters are not trying to crush your dreams-they are just telling you how it is.
You may have to wait a bit, put your child first. There's plenty of time for you, and Spain may be in a better position when you are finally ready.
Ignoring common sense advice is foolhardy.

That said, you may well be more successful, but please don't think it is going to be easy because it won't be.
I wish you luck, if you have the right attitude you are more likely to succeed, but don't ignore the very real problems that you may find.

But that's what this forum is about and what's the point telling someone how great it will be, if it's not actually true. Too many parents don't put their child first and just want to live their dream. Moving to mainland Spain is hard enough, but moving to an island is even harder. When the honeymoon phase is over, you have no savings, no future for your child, you'll wish you were in rainy Manchester enjoying a good cup of tea![LOL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif)

Finding a job before you leave isn't going to go well, save and then move out and find a job... Laminate CVS and hand them round also there are a few British companies over there with office work I've found plenty, can stay in touch as much as you want! I already have a place lined up for a 6month tenancy at first it's 700euros a month but includes all bills, has a pool etc! Would be fab to meet up and can arrange things

You seem to be ignoring my earlier post #6
How are you going to get health care for you and your child and get her into school if you don't have sufficient income and private health care?
They will not allow you to register if you cannot meet the criteria.
