We currently live in Nottingham at the moment and within 5 months 1 of us has already been mugged in broad daylight, and obviously dont want to jump out of the pan and in to the fire.

If you can use public transport, try north along the rail line (Heald Green, Gatley, East Didsbury, Burnage, Mauldeth Road), but no further south than Wilmslow cos the rail connections from further south are a bit dodgy.
If you have children who need good schools, try anywhere around Altrincham, Timperley, Hale or Sale.
