Welcome to a Parents Guide To Plymouth
This website was set up to complement the very popular book "A Parents Guide to Plymouth", first published in 1983, but no longer in print. Parents and carers of children living in, or visiting, Plymouth and surrounding area, should be able to find everything they need by following the links. Information to be included on the Website is very welcome and can be communicated either by way of the Message Board or by contacting Parent Friendly.
