"Hi Tim, I received the magazine & I'm VERY pleased with the outcome! In fact, we are generating more enquires from Toddle About than the other magazines we have tried running concurrently – so guess where my marketing budget is heading..."

Gary, Head Start Day Nursery, Daventry

"I received the magazine last week and would just like to let you know how pleased I am with everything! I love the articles in What's New and Shop About and I’m really, really pleased with the quality and design of the advert and the voucher in the middle pages. This is exactly what I need as a new business launcher who has very limited budget to spend. You have always been patient with my queries and requests and I can definitely say the money is very well spent. A HUGE thank you :)"

Suki Wong, Babyprints, Rugby

"I'm really pleased with the immediate response I got from advertising my Hartbeeps classes in Toddle About. Tim is quick and friendly to work with. Thank you."

Eilidh, Hartbeeps, Northampton

"I just wanted to say I’ve seen my new ad in Toddle About and I’m really pleased with it. It’s obviously hit exactly the right market as I’ve had loads of interest in my classes in the short time it’s been out. I’ll definitely advertise with you again. You were really easy and helpful to deal with, so thanks for that too!"

Charlotte Bayley, Kiddy Cook, Leamington Spa

"I'm really chuffed with my advert in the new edition of Toddle About, I've already had someone use a voucher :-)" (written one week after release date)

Julie Bickley, Smallprint, Warwickshire

"Advertising in Toddle About has spread the word for Dandy Development and I have a steady stream of vouchers arriving with bookings. Tim's patience and help, along with the popularity of the magazine has meant that my advertising budget was money well spent. I have already booked up until the end of next year."

Nikki, Dandy Development, Leamington Spa, Warwick & Southam

"Advertising in Toddle About has worked really well for me to help start my business up in the area. I have lots of enquiries through Toddle About and am lucky that the business is growing better than I initially hoped it would. Advertising here has definitely been money well spent."

Reanne, Tatty Bumpkin, Towcester & MK

"Your advertising is so successful! It's really very good, suddenly I've been taken up with so much extra work I've had 2 days off only since I spoke to you last Tim! Very unexpected!"

Ley Stone, Lovely Children's Entertainer, Northamptonshire

"I just wanted to let you know that the advert for our Boogie & Bounce classes is working well - I've had quite a few calls".

Lorraine, LoveBallet Dance Company, Daventry, Southam & Warwick

"I was at my open day in Rugby on Sunday and everyone (with one exception) had heard that I was there via your web site or magazine. So many thanks for the work you are pushing my way.

Emma, Paint & Glaze, Rugby

"I think Toddle About has filled a gap in the children's magazine market. It is a great and refreshing magazine; interesting for the reader and a creative approach for the advertiser. I have been advertising in the Warwickshire magazine since its launch in January. I have continued to advertise because the response from my advert has been great; the summer magazine has only been out a week and I have had many enquiries!"

Anne, Musical abc, Leamington Spa & Kenilworth

"The Toddle About magazine (and website) is not only an invaluable resource for parents but for businesses as well. As co-owner of Musical Monkeys, we only need pay for one advert to publicise our Silverstone session & that’s in Toddle About. This magazine has been, and still is, an essential resource to maintain our loyal & valued customer base. We cannot recommend it enough!"

Vanessa Smith, Musical Monkeys, South Northants & MK

"I have advertised with Toddle About for a year and have found the service exceptional. Tim is always on hand to help with ideas and to pull everything together in a professional manner. It’s really lovely to see your ideas come together in the edition. I then get to read my copy and look forward to finding out what’s on offer locally – Thanks Toddle About!"

Charlotte Gurney, Phoenix Trader, Warwickshire & Northamptonshire

"I saw my advert and article in the magazine today and I am so chuffed. You have done an amazing job and I am so appreciative of all your help and have already had some interest from the advert." (Written two days after this edition was released)

Catherine, The Kids Kitchen, Northampton

"Advertising in Toddle About has helped let parents know that our baby signing classes run locally and has helped to explain the benefits to be gained from baby signing. I have had an increase in bookings this last month since the magazine was released, with vouchers being handed in. Tim has been great at giving advice on the best marketing approach for my business and it was very exciting to see our first advert and editorial in print. Mums in my classes have commented on how interesting the articles are with the different topics covered - and not one copy was left behind from my last session!"

Pippa, Sing & Sign, South Warwickshire

"Just to let you know our Junior School Open Day was very successful last Friday with higher numbers attending than last year so I’m sure the eshot and advert were successful, thank you!"

Jo, Northampton High School, Northampton

"I am delighted to be advertising Little Kickers classes in Toddle About magazine. From initial discussions through to the final magazine, the whole process has been made simple by the advice and support from Tim, the Editor. The response to our adverts has been phenomenal, with lots of parents taking advantage of the free taster session voucher. As a parent of a toddler too, I appreciate the combination of articles, adverts and listings. Toddle About certainly delivers for parents and advertisers alike!"

Lynne Newbould, Little Kickers, Northampton, Daventry & Rugby

"Toddle About has been a great advert for GO4GOALS. In just one month I have received numerous phone calls and had many sign up for new sessions. The trial voucher has been very useful and I believe it gives the customer an incentive to attend."
Updated June 2011: "The magazine is doing wonders for GO4GOALS. To be fair I was very nervous about advertising at first, but since I started I've recieved many phone calls and plenty of new business."

Jason, GO4GOALS, Leamington Spa & Stratford-upon-Avon

"We've advertised with Toddle About from its first issue & it's been good for us since day 1 - Tim communicates well with his clients, helps whenever he can & produces a quality publication that looks good & is received well."

Zara, Little Turtle Swim Company, Towcester & MK.

"I am always careful about advertising as I only have a small budget, but I was really pleased I advertised in Toddle About - within a couple of days of Toddle About being printed I had enquiries. But, what I felt was even better was my customers started to tell me they had seen my advert. To me that means the magazine is being well distributed. I have now booked for the whole year."

Jo, Little Splashers, Warwickshire

"I am just writing to say that since moving premises and advertising my gymnastics classes in "Toddle About" my numbers have not only almost doubled, but I am opening up another 2 classes! The magazines go like hotcakes as soon as I put them out too, so I would like to say a huge "thank you" to you for successfully helping me to promote my club, and to keep up the fantastic work.

Tracey Hanmore, Gymbugs, Northampton

"I have just had some fantastic news that our Northampton studio are being in-undated with calls regarding the advert and vouchers in the Toddle About magazine - I am so pleased! Everyone is loving Toddle About - my Manager has joked that you need to set a magazine up nationwide so we can advertise all our studios!"

Eloise, PixFoto, Northampton

"Since our advertisement was placed in the {Toddle About} magazine, interest in the centre has increased and the local families are now more aware of our presence. This is a success and we hope to work with Tim and the magazine again in the future".

Jenny, Daventry East Sure Start Children's Centre.

"What (Toddle About) offers is brilliant for us and the response we are getting is much better than other advertising we have previously committed to, so it would be great to carry on working with you."

Charlotte, Tumble Tots, Warwick

"Thank you for the latest edition of Toddle About, it was fantastic – I loved the piece on the ELC digital camera! The magazine has only been out a week, and we have sold three on the strength of that already. I really think your magazine is bringing in extra customers - we have had lots of vouchers handed in! Toddle About has been a great platform for existing customers as well as those who may not have shopped with us before. I have just had a thorough read of your website as well... it’s fantastic! What an amazing job you've done, thank you".

Sharon, Early Learning Centre, Northampton

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for a great publication with an excellent service, we are very pleased we advertised in the very first edition of 'Toddle About', and will continue to do so as the response has been better than we expected, we have had customers to our shop from all reaches. Keep up the great work."

Steve & Annie, Pink & Blue Baby World

"The advert in Toddle About was a great return on investment. We had over 800 people through the doors at The Baby and Child Show in Towcester, and the tracking we did on visitors showed that a high percentage of those had come via Toddle About. It's a great magazine with an already dedicated readership both on and offline; we were very pleased to have them as our show sponsors as their high quality brand and readership really did attract the right type of visitors to our show".

Sam Vaughan, The Baby & Child Show

"I hold family values dear to me and try to mirror this is my own business, and I feel that Toddle About has family at its heart too. I take the Toddle About magazine to my pools with me and leave it on the poolside for parents - there are never any left by the end of each session so I have had to start limiting the number I take to each pool so there are enough to go around! Some of my parents have now signed up to receive their own copies as the information and articles inside are always really useful and relevant. Tim is great and always really helpful, especially to me as he understands small businesses and has good advice for those of us not so technically minded! Now that we have a presence in Toddle About we are starting to see some referrals coming through. Keep up the banter and good work!"

Denise Wesson, Active Baby Company, Northampton

"Advertising with Toddle About is a pleasant experience. Tim is welcoming, helpful and patient, I feel as if i am communicating with a friend even though we have never met. I have had a rise in enquiries since advertising so recommend it to others. Not only advertising but a good read too".

Lizzy Giles, Yoga for Pregnancy

"We were a little surprised at the response from advertising in the first issue of the Toddle About magazine. Well over 30 enquiries have come through because of it, which is by far the best response we have had from advertising locally. The article certainly helped to raise the profile of Child First nursery as well as Forest Nurseries in general. Compared to others Toddle About seems more discerning and I suspect it is a combination of this as well as its size, content, style and circulation that has led to its success – we will, of course, continue to advertise."

Tom Shea, Child First Nursery
