New local website, aimed at parents

[esme]

Hi - I am thinking about setting up a website, aimed at parents - similar to the forum but less of a place for discussion and more where you can find business details quickly when you need them (eventually having reviews etc.).

Any ideas and suggestions welcome, plus if anyone would like their details posted on the site please let me know and I will let you have the site details.

This won't be direct competition for the forum (which I think is great!) as it will be more focused on childcare and other services available locally as well as info for new parents or parents to be.

Thanks everyone (and thanks forum!!)

I think there already is one, set up by the lovely Lenster from this forum? It's http://www.edtots.co.uk/, but maybe it's slightly different to what were thinking to do?

I remember another one popping up a while ago, Dulwich Mums and Dads or something along those lines, which I think had quite a similar aim (although I don't think it really caught on). Might be worth a Google?

i have checked out those above, thanks, both slightly different

go to www.eastdulwichmummy.com and let me know what you think!

I think it's a great site Esme, hope it takes off and becomes a really useful tool for ED families.

Thanks Kim :) 488 hits yesterday so seems a popular idea - anyone willing to write a short article for my site please get in touch! Ideas include book reviews, poetry, personal experience of trying to conceive, being pregnant, having a baby and juggling work, and anything you think other women (and men) would like to read about really.

Look forward to hearing from you!
