Mum's Guide To From bumps to teens... bringing our comprehensive family guides to a town near you. In fact, often a bit of luck and word-of-mouth seemed to be the best way.

From bumps to teens...

Back in 2012, as four mums with 12 children between us (now 13) we had spent our fair share of time scouring the internet and coffee shop noticeboards to find everything from children’s activities and places to visit, to details of local facilities and services, and found that information was difficult to find. We decided to fix this ourselves and create a single, free comp

rehensive website to provide all family-related information for our town (Harpenden) in one place. After many late nights of researching, designing & website-building Mum’s guide to Harpenden launched in June 2012. In 2016 we decided to expand and enable other parents to run sites for their towns. We now have sites running in St Albans, Hertford, Romford, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn and St Neots. If you think your town needs a Mum's Guide To site and you are passionate about your community then get in touch to find out more. Alison, Angela, Carol & Katie

Our Story

From bumps to teens... Mum’s Guide To began in 2012 when we, four mums, decided to set up a website for the parents of our town, Harpenden in Hertfordshire (www.mumsguideto.co.uk/harpenden), to provide comprehensive information all in one place about what’s available for children and families in the area. In 2017 we decided the time was right to expand and offer other parents the chance to set up a Mum’s Guide To site for their town. We now have sites in Harpenden, Bournemouth, Romford, St Albans, Hertford, Hemel Hempstead and Welwyn. If you would be interested in running a Mum’s Guide To local site for your town we’d love to hear from you! www.mumsguideto.co.uk/uk/recruiting
