..we're currently beavering away on our upcoming Sping issue. It's taking a bit of imagination to think about spring sunshine whilst huddled around the radiators looking at grey skies. But, as all parents know, time passes quickly and before long I'm sure we'll be able to look forward to sunshine, daffoldils and Easter days out. And our Spring issue will be packed with ideas, suggestions and local news.
Here at Kent mama we pride ourselves on producing a parenting magazine that focuses on readers as well as meeting the needs of our advertisers. All our articles are independently written by parents in Kent and feature a range of subjects including support for families, voluntary organisations, sure start projects, school life, days out, local parents' views and much more.
Now in its fourth year of production, copies are given free to 35,000 parents in the mid-Kent area. With separate editions for Medway and for Maidstone and Sittingbourne.
