We have some interesting and informative articles and fun stuff for kids in this section of Children's Rooms .
Back in 1999 when the internet and, especially, search (long before Google) was in its infancy I created my very first parenting and children's website - Allkids.co.uk.
Initially this was simply a directory for new parents with all the relative information that they would need, easily found in one place - children's development, health, childcare, parenting problems and where to find official help and advice. Over the years Allkids grew to become one of the most popular parenting websites in the UK, and I introduced an affiliate shopping section which covered all the best kids products from the top online retailers - this eventually lead to Children's Rooms when, as a family, we decided to venture into opening our own online store. All the information I had gathered over the years was transferred to a new website, Pocket Parent.
It is now time to retire Allkids, ParentCentre and Pocket Parent and, rather than lose all that essential parenting information, we have transferred it to this section - I do hope you find it useful.
