This site was set up in 2002 by Geraldine Lane following the success of her book A Parents Guide to Plymouth which was available in four editions between 1983 and 2006. It has been professionally re-designed and updated but still operates on the basis that all relevant local businesses should be included free of charge and access to the website should also be free of any subscription charge.

This means that we have to find a way to fund the website to ensure its continuation so we have decided to accept advertising. Local businesses will find that the charges are very reasonable, and national companies that offer affiliate marketing programmes have links to their own websites. If visitors to the Parents Guide to Plymouth website click on the affiliate links to national companies and complete a purchase, we will be given a small percentage of the sale price to fund the website.

If you have a relevant site and wish to have a link from this site to your own site please make contact by e-mail or write to Parent Friendly, 21 Ernesettle Crescent, Plymouth, PL5 2ET.

Let us know if you offer a service or have a business which would be of interest to families in the Plymouth area, that is not already included on this site, or if you wish to amend the information here. Enquire about advertising rates if you wish to advertise your business on this very popular website.
