The magazine will be sold for around £2.00 and will focus on the lighter side of parenting, recognising the needs of modern mums to experience something fun, intelligent and fashion-forward as well as being a source of information. Andrew Tyler, MD of gurgle.com, commented: “Today’s mums don’t just want to be dictated to about raising their children, they want a fun, informative and fashion-forward magazine – that is what we hope to achieve with the new publication. It will provide a new opportunity for Mothercare and ELC to engage with their customers as well as offering something genuinely new in the parenting magazine market.”
