Shifting to Maidenhead

Hi,

We are an Indian family which would be relocating to London this April. Both me and my wife are working professionals and since my wife's office is in Maidenhead (my office is near Liverpool Street Station), we are planning to settle down in Maidenhead, preferably somewhere closer to the Train Station. We have a four and a half year old daughter who we are looking to get enrolled in a good school in Maidenhead. Since, we still don't have a permanent address in London but we have a very good idea where we would be settling down, I was hoping to understand if

1. Is Maidenhead a good place to live? It looks like an area with lots of greenery, parks and good schools which should be good for our daughter but is there anything we should be mindful of?
2. I wanted to check if there is anything we can do which can help improve chances of my kid getting admission in a good school. I know we have already missed the first deadline for enrollment so if there is anything we can do otherwise, please suggest. Would contacting the schools and explaining our situation help?
3. What is the best way to look for houses on rent in Maidenhead? If there are any recommended agents, please feel free to suggest,

Sorry for the long post and for the many questions but I am hoping to do some research before coming over.

Thanks for helping.

Regards,
Saurabh
