A How To Guide For Summer
Jul 25, 2011

We often hear about the many mums who struggle to find fun things to do as a family during the summer months. With the prospect of the long summer holidays ahead, we have been focussing on finding ways to enjoy this time, instead of dreading it as so many mums have done in the past! We have now created a short guide to help you find fun activities to do with your children during the sunny months. We hope you find it a useful tool for the holidays now and in the future.

“Founded in 2000 Netmums is the UK's fastest-growing online parenting organisation with almost 1 million members and 4 million visitors. Netmums is a family of local sites that cover the UK, each site offering information to mothers on everything from where to find playgroups and how to eat healthily to where to meet other mothers. The local sites are backed by a wealth of parenting articles that start with pregnancy and follow through each stage of childhood helping mums to enjoy a happy and healthy family life.” The site is great because you can check out what is happening in all areas of the country, which is especially helpful if you want to find out what’s on in your area or if you are visiting a new location on holiday.
 
This site is a great way to plan a family day out in the UK. You use a simple search engine to find the type of activity you would like to do and the website finds the nearest attraction to you. The website also includes a list of baby facilities at each attraction, which is a god send for busy mums! The site also includes some great top tips to help you get the most out of your research!
 
Your Local Library
As you would expect, local libraries offer a wealth of information. Kids generally love going to the library to explore new books, learn about their favourite topics and to rent out a DVD. If it’s a rainy day, libraries are a wonderful retreat. They keep your children entertained and you can enjoy some quality time together! Libraries also offer lots of resources from which you can learn about the fun events happening in your area.
 
Local Government Websites
Your local Government website is another fantastic resource. On it you will find opening times for leisure centres and libraries as well as transport routes and bus links. Some councils will also list exciting annual events that are being held in your area so it’s often worth searching the site for things to do during the summer months.
It’s always a good idea to check a weather report if you’re planning to head outdoors. This site is really useful and often very accurate! Simply enter your postcode or location and hey presto you can review a comprehensive weather report.
This invaluable website provided by the BBC enables you to search quickly for things to do that relate to nature in your area. Simply type in your location and it does the rest! You could soon be enjoying a storytelling walk in a bluebell wood or experiencing the magic of a dawn chorus at a local reserve. This website is well worth a visit.
The BBC has developed this fantastic website in conjunction with the extremely popular and successful Springwatch series. The website contains lots of interesting material, which you can share with your family. You will get some great ideas to share with your children from this very informative site.

We hope this guide will help you get more out of your summer holidays and enable you to achieve more quality time with your family. Wishing you lots of family fun and here’s hoping the sun shines!
