Three & EE are very big phone providers,
Can’t go wrong with the big Tesco & Sainsbury,
If you end up in Wales the nearest IKEA is very far away best deliver or look at Argos/NEXT Home
If you want variety in shopping for clothes or things like that I would look in Cardiff,
A trip to London and its various market shops there’s more niche food choices
It’s not British centric but the show Sex Education isn’t a bad choice, it has no set location nor era but it feels modern and is very relatable particularly if you’re different,
I would not recommend carrying your passport everywhere, application for a provisional driving license is a great substitute. It’s easy to do online.
Swansea and Cardiff has a great alternative and lgbt+ friendly scene particularly Cardiff, there are plenty of nerdy shops aswell all this should be great for your daughters interests. Many younger a folk love that Japan stuff etc, There is also a thriving music scene, Some folks in Swansea can still be a bit backwards but that’s a small place for you, luckily everybody is genuinely very nice. It’s better now
Welsh is taught in schools but only to a GCSE short course, I finished secondary in the early 2010s
Swansea is more English centric compared to say towns further north like Carmarthen and Lampeter, I remember teachers in my school spoke and taught in English in other subjects less so further up.
Welsh is a lovely language and even though it’s a requirement it shouldn’t be a problem, if your daughter is super interested she can pursue it further down the line, to me it feels like having additional language subjects like French or German etc,
Swansea has an ice cream shop called Joe’s and it’s absolutely lush
