Hi Jennie and welcome to the Forum. :)

At the top of the page is our Handy Tools link; if you select that, you'll get access to our 做厙輦⑹ Guides which may answer many questions you have. I'm assuming you've already sorted out your visas.

To answer your specific questions:

English Schools. Plenty of International Schools, but very expensive; Google will help you find them; here's a to a search I just did. If you're planning on staying in Holland, then I'd recommend you consider using the Dutch state schools; we did and our kids were just fine.

Job Opportunities. Depends what you want. My own experience is that to get a job in Holland, you need the following:

Appropriate experience
Appropriate qualifications
Speak Dutch
Luck

The more of those you tick off, the better chance you have of getting a well paid job.

Cost of living. The Numbeo organisation publish a webpage which will give you details of specific costs and compare them to where you are now; this will take you to the website.

Pets. The Dutch Government website regarding this is available from this .

Transport. Depends where you live; the majority of the country has excellent public transport. The majority of Dutch people manage day to day with a bicycle.

Health. Medical Insurance is compulsory in Holland; this will take you to a webpage with further information.

Once you've read the above links and our guides; if you have any further questions, please come back to us.

Hope this helps.

I would casually tell you that 90% of your transport needs are sorted, as long as you can ride a bicycle.
