I have friends who sound similar to yourselves.

They are a young couple with a small child who live over here and he does swimming pool maintenance during the day from 7am until 6pm, 5 days a week. she runs a handbag shop, 9am until 8pm, 6 days a week and they both work alternative nights at a bar from 9pm until 2am. They have both been on the island about 10 years, have a lot of contacts and friends and also have family who have moved out to join them.

They earn just enough to rent an apartment pay the other usual bills including the car and nursery school for their daughter.

If you want to go ahead with the move, you would neeed a good amount of money in the bank, and you would need at least 1 of you to have secured a job before hand. Bear in mind that the average salary here is 850 a month and many jobs associated with tourism will be summer only.

Where there's a will, there's a way and if you really want to move then you must do what you feel you need to. We all know the UK is not a great place to bring up kids, but if you're not financially secure then you will just have problems.
