“Becoming a mother is the most fabulous yet frightening experience I think I have ever had, not knowing where to take my little bundle of joy for a day out or which toddler group to attend, let alone the continuous battle to ensure you were dealing with yours child’s development correctly. That is until my health visitor handed me the new Colchester Baby Book. I have found the information within the magazine invaluable and as its size is compact I carry it with me in my son’s nappy bag, as one of my daily essential items!! A huge thank-you to all in your magazine, I cannot wait for the next issue.”

“Advertising in The Colchester Baby Book has meant that I have reached different customers than I had with other publications I presently advertise with. I have been really pleased to not only see (and sell to) new customers, but have received many more phone calls just making an initial enquiry.”

What is the Baby Book?

Having worked with families in Colchester and other areas for many years it was quite apparent to me that although there was lots going on for parents-to-be and new parents/ carers, people were often finding out about information when it was too late. Some were even missing out on wonderful opportunities for themselves and their babies / toddlers all together.

With two small children of my own, I know from experience that time is often limited and so are energy levels and enthusiasm - who wants to be searching for telephone numbers and information - not me!!! Hence the idea for The Baby Book was born.

The Baby Book is a free annual publication targeting Colchester and the surrounding areas. It is primarily targeted at parents-to-be, new parents and carers of babies, toddlers and pre-school children. The Baby Book provides local information and contact details for those who can support parents during pregnancy and with their new baby/ toddler. Wanting to exercise or relax; need to know where to shop; what about childcare and where to take little ones; need support and help with feeding and much, much more. It’s all in The Baby Book. The Baby Book also provides relevant editorials and local advertising. It Is designed to ‘read and keep’, ensuring that your advert is seen time and time again.

May 2008 sees the launch of The Baby Book website. Being updated monthly, it will ensure that the information provided is correct and fresh for every visitor. See examples of sizes for website advertisements
