Welcome! From bumps to teens we have it covered.
This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Colchester with children.
Welcome
Hi I'm Taela and I run the Mum's guide to Colchester website and social media pages.
I live in Colchester with my soon to be husband, our 1 year old daughter and our labrador.
We spend quite a bit of time outdoors usually with our dog and when we're not outdoors we enjoy messy play indoors or trying a local class out. Ever since I became a mum I've been desperate to find a website that has all things parenthood in one place. I don't know about you but I am forever googling 'things to do in the rain' or 'baby friendly restaurants' and everytime I'm presented with multiple websites that I need to sift through. So when I heard about the 'Mum's guide to' websites I immediately know this was going to be the project for me.
I will continue to build and add to this website as much as possible but I am by no means a local exppert, nor a parenting expert so if there is anything you think I'm missing from this site then please, please feel free to drop me and email [email protected] and let me know.
I hope you enjoy the new website!
