What is Toddle Along?
Hello! Toddle Along is your friendly, go-to community website for parents, carers, and families across the Stroud, Gloucestershire area. Since being started by Kazz Hollick back in 2015, we've grown into an essential, local-first resource dedicated to making life easier for new mums. Our core mission is to provide an up-to-date timetable and class guide, so you can quickly find activities, groups, and meet-ups for your little ones without endless searching. Beyond the timetables, you’ll find dedicated pages for signposting to useful local services and links to trusted websites tailored for new parents. We know how fast things change, so we work hard to ensure the information here is updated regularly—often with the help of local mums and the providers themselves—to keep it accurate. We're a small, self-funded project run by local parents (Kazz, Lucy, and Jen), all driven by the simple goal of supporting our community.
Why did we start it?
Toddle Along began from a very real, personal need. When Kazz (the founder) was a new parent, she quickly realised how tough it was to find essential information about local classes and activities—especially when navigating those sometimes overwhelming early months. She knew she wasn't alone in needing an easy-to-access, up-to-date guide. Just as importantly, Kazz felt it was vital to have clear, reliable signposting to support services because, let's be honest, parenthood isn't always "smiles and roses." Creating and maintaining this website was also how Kazz taught herself web design—a skill she now uses professionally! So, while the website exists to support new families across Stroud, it's also been a rewarding project for the people running it.
Meet the team!
Kazz is our founder! A visual artist working on sculpture and installations, with a varied background in photography, music and creative producing. She also specialises in visual communication for creatives and organisations, with a focus on accessibility and web design.
Lucy runs our website! A personal trainer and yoga teacher who specialises working with women. As a new mum herself she understands how valuable it is to find safe spaces locally to get out of the house and enjoy time with your new baby and meet other mums to create your support network.
Jen runs our facebook page! She runs FunkyMonkey Music a fantastic music group for 9m+ toddlers and preschoolers encouranging dancing, jumping, wriggling and twirling with lots of props. As a local mum she is a great resource for keeping upto date with events and one-off groups in and around Stroud.
Want to help?
We’re always on the look out for new classes in Stround or the surrounding areas, both baby friendly or even just social groups for parents without the little ones. We have created our ‘Weekly Timtable’ but there are also monthly events that we will highlight on our facebook page!
If you are starting a class and would like it added to our timetable, get in touch! or if you’ve found a class we haven’t found yet, let us know!
Support Our Community Guide
Keeping Toddle Along running smoothly isn't quite free—there are small but regular costs for things like website hosting and domain fees. If you find our guide helpful, you can help us cover these costs and keep the resource available to all Stroud families!
We’ve set up a friendly 'Buy me a Coffee' account where you can either give a one-off donation or sign up for a £1 a month membership to contribute regularly.
We truly appreciate any support you can offer, but please know that donations are absolutely not expected to use the site. Thank you!
