The Parents Directories were first published in 1993. In 2007 they were acquired by Brockwell Publishing who also publish the London Baby Directory www.babydirectory.com and another 8 regional Baby Directories.

We have a small London team consisting of Clare (the editor), assisted by Caroline and Kathryn, Patricia and Geeta (on sales) and Chris (designer in chief). We are always happy to help with enquiries (020 7733 0088) and determined to get everything 100% accurate. And in the event we have made a mistake (it does happen - although unintentional) we try to put things right as soon as possible.

The Directories are simple and easy to use and they sit very nicely on any shelf in any room - and just sometimes it's quicker to flick through than logging on.

But we also appreciate that for the "latest information" you cannot beat a website. So we always try extra hard to make our What's On the most useful document in your inbox.

If you think we are not doing our research properly - and you'd like to recommend an event, new shop or anything wacky - then please do email us at editor@parentsdirectories.com
