Netmums

Netmums, the biggest parenting community in the UK, was established in 2000 when three mothers came together at a playgroup and realized that parents needed a space to connect online. By 2016, Netmums had become the go-to platform for UK mothers, with three out of four moms using the site for discussions, local events, product evaluations, recipes, up-to-date parenting news, and reliable support and guidance.
