How it started
Kidsguide was set up by Zena Barrick a Chester mother who was frustrated at never knowing where to look for information about local family facilities.


" When I had my first baby I had no idea how to find childcare or where to take kids on a rainy day. I didn’t discover that there was an excellent toddler group just round the corner until my daughter was three and too old to go!
Although there are many sources of information, there didn’t seem to be a single, comprehensive, easy-to-use resource to find out all the kids’ stuff you usually only find out by speaking to people.”


One stop shop

So she decided to set up the Kidsguide web site as a "one-stop shop" for
parents with children aged 0-14, in particular, those new to parenthood, new to the area or who are simply fed up of hearing those immortal words “I’m bored… what can we do today..?

How it's grown
