Hello Mums & Dads,


A while back, I posted on the ED forum looking for advice on how to set up a website - I knew next to nothing about tech or the internet. (Original post here - see how confused I was: https://bitly.com/)


That was two years ago!!


Since then, I had a baby, went to coding school, and built a thing from scratch. With a server, bespoke database and everything!


The aim of the site is to help parents find something to do with their babies as fast as possible. The main features include:-


* browse results by map

* see timetable by venue

* view a provider's timetables and see a map of their closest locations to you

* filters tailored specifically for babies & toddlers

* embedded newsfeed from each provider


On it's way:

* free text search for venue / class provider

* whatever else you can think of to make it better than Hoop.


I've just published the beta version online and would really really appreciate some help with testing it out and with any suggested listings / edits to make it more accurate and complete. Here is the link:

I now work with a small merry band of 'stay at home' mums (and a dad) with the ambition of proving there is an alternative to the 9 to 5 (plus the hour commute each way and a nursery dash). Just because we want to work flexibly, shouldn't mean we can't do meaningful work. Not in the 21st Century.


I really hope there are some other mums out there who will see this and know that if they are interested in coding, they can learn and they can do it - it is never too late to learn, and it's so important to increase diversity in this field. (Plus, it's the best thing ever!) Drop me a line if you like, I'd be happy to hear from you.


Thanks. :)

    • Is GH Metals Ltd. still trading? I have tried all 3 phone numbers, but nobody is picking up.  If closed, any recommendations for other scrap metal merchants near by?
    • It's great that the relatively new type garden bags seem to be a lot bigger than the old ones, but has anybody else found that they disintegrate in the rain? I have two full ones in front of my house (too small to call the space a garden) and  they both  seem to have developed large holes when they got wet in the recent heavy rain. They mostly have prickly rose prunings in, which doesn't help.
    • But they are open when it's dark at some times of the year. If they weren't, they would have no need for an illuminated sign in the first place.
    • How on earth do you equate people asking on a local forum  about police presence and road closure near their home with "busybodies and ghoulish people gossiping" , when they are asking because they don't know what has happened? And why have you included  that link? Nobody has posted any photos on here.
