Why We Started The Kid List

Because finding quality family info shouldn’t be a full-time job.
We wanted one easy place for busy parents and carers to connect with local life and discover the hidden gems that our area has to offer, alongside editorial features about parenting, family life and everything in between.

Built for Families, Backed by the Community

Built For Families

We’re here to make local parenting easier, more fun, and less overwhelming. From babies to big kids, The Kid List is packed with real-life ideas, events, and recommendations that actually work for modern families.

Community First

We champion the people and places that make our area special. Whether it’s a hidden café, a passionate dance teacher, or a pop-up playgroup – if it’s local and family-friendly, we want to help others discover it.

Support Small, Shop Local

The Kid List is proud to spotlight local businesses, clubs, and creatives. Through our growing directory and editorial features, we aim to connect parents with the brilliant services on their doorstep — and help those businesses thrive.

Powered by You

Your tips, feedback, and favourite places shape everything we do. As we grow from social-first content to a full magazine, events guide, and printed publication, we’ll be led by the needs of our community.
