About Us
About Essex Mums
Essex Mums is your go-to online community for families across Essex — sharing trusted recommendations, ideas for days out, and all the best local events, classes, and activities.
Originally founded over a decade ago as a space for parents to connect and support one another, Essex Mums has grown into one of the county’s most loved family websites — helping thousands of local parents every month find what they need, when they need it.
Now run by a local family who grew up and are raising their own children here in Essex, we continue that same spirit of community: celebrating local life, supporting small businesses, and creating a friendly, inclusive space where every parent feels welcome.
Our Aim is Simple
To make family life in Essex a little easier (and a lot more fun!)
To connect families with local businesses, classes, and events they’ll love
To provide a trusted, friendly space for sharing ideas, advice, and inspiration
We’re proud to be a small, independent team, passionate about keeping Essex Mums community-driven and useful for families right across the county.
