Agree with JandM and...
If you know what area you will be living in when the time comes for your daughter to start school...
contact all the schools and ask to visit explaining you are a prospective parent
Visiting a school when it is 'open' is the best way to get a feel of the school
Some schools may offer opportunities to visit prior to your daughter starting in a New Entrant class
Science is taught in Primary schools - just like in England - and 'space' is one small part of the science curriculum but as you indicate your daughter's interest may well change
