We want an apartment of about 1400sq ft - Miami Green ones seem to be a bit smaller - with pool and other leisure facilities and access to supermarket/shops that I can push a buggy to - I don't drive.

Any advice or links to groups would be gratefully received!
You could try to take a look at Tanjung Park, they have corner units of about 1500 sq ft for rental. The location is superb as it is right opposite Island Plaza (with a good Cold Storage supermarket) and next to all the convenient stores and restaurant. Taxis will always be waiting for you in front of Island Plaza, and public buses will always stop at Island Plaza too.

Alternatively you could try Hunza's Alila in Tanjung Bungah, which is a bit more quite and with a more up to date design, but you will need to walk down a slope to get to the restaurant and shops.

If you need assistance to get a good rental in these places, you could contact me. I help foreigners to relocate to Malaysia. Half a month commission for rental applied.
