I can tell you that having a small kid in Germany is a pain, as kindergartens can be hard to get into. Also, the country is stuck in the 80s when it comes to bureaucracy and digitalization. Depending on where you live, you may find it difficult to have friends and adapt - the West/North being much more accepting than the South/East. This is not to say that Germany is a bad option, but it is a weird country that takes some effort to live in as a foreigner.

I haven't lived in the UK or Switzerland, but if you have an option to be anywhere in Europe, you might want to consider Denmark. Copenhagen is very beautiful and a delight to live in, and public services are all top notch. Other options I would personally consider are Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal, but I haven't lived there as well.

Finding a Kita spot in Germany, especially in Berlin, can be hard because Kita is free, but the alternative is that one person sacrifices their career in Switzerland because the childcare costs are so high. You can make your own decision.
