I live near to pontypridd and I went to the uni in trefforest for a year, I'm not an expert but from my opinion it seems to depend on where you'll live there. I personally think the town centre is okay, my Mam won't go there because she thinks it's rough but I've been with the baby and think nothing of it. There's a lovely baby shop there called Bizzie Lizzie which we visit a lot 🤣
I live close to Pontypridd and I am new to the area myself. Please feel free to message me if you’d like to meet up for play dates with the babies or a coffee/wine! I know how difficult it can be when you relocate. Don’t know anything about schools sorry because I don’t have children school age. Xx
