I'll push back on the nonstick pans. Steel pans get you much better sears, are easier to take care of, and last way longer than non-sticks. Even expensive non-sticks will require you to use spatulas made of a soft material and will only last a couple months to a handful of years before the teflon flakes off.
Personally I would save up a bit and get a 9inch, a 12-14inch (depending on hob sizes), and a bigger sauce pan. Would definitely run more expensive than 100 quid but will last much longer.
Ceramic instead of Teflon is where it's at.
