Toddle About North Hampshire & West Berks, Oxfordshire, and South Buckinghamshire

Hi, I’m Bill 👋 I’m a dad to two brilliant little adventurers and the person behind Toddle About across North Hampshire & West Berkshire, Oxfordshire and South Bucks. Yes, three magazines. I do get asked if I’m slightly mad… and maybe I am. But I care deeply about what we’re building.

It Starts With Being a Parent

Everything I do comes back to family life. The busy mornings. The “what are we doing today?” conversations. The rainy afternoons when you need an idea fast. The desire to make memories without it feeling overwhelming or expensive.

I know how it feels to want trustworthy recommendations without scrolling endlessly or second guessing every decision. That is why Toddle About exists. Not to add noise, but to bring clarity.

More Than a Magazine

People often see the printed magazine first. But Toddle About is much more than pages and adverts. It is a trusted guide that pulls everything together in one place. What’s on locally. Which baby and toddler groups are running. Family days out. Real businesses that other parents already use and recommend.

When parents tell me it’s their “Bible”, that means everything. Because it shows we are doing what we set out to do, helping families feel informed, supported and confident.

It’s Not About Advertising

This is the part I care about most.

We do not get excited about selling ad space. We get excited when a class fills up because a parent discovered it through us. When a nursery receives genuine enquiries. When a small business owner says they have had real leads and real bookings.

Advertising is simply the vehicle.
Connection is the purpose.
Leads and growth are the outcome.

If our customers grow, we grow. That is how it should be.

Toddle About LIVE!

Our LIVE! events are where everything comes to life. Families walk in and instantly feel the energy. Children explore, play and get involved. Parents chat, discover new activities and meet the people behind local brands.

It is relaxed, friendly and built around real conversations. Not hard selling. Not pressure. Just community.

You can see businesses connecting properly with families. You can see trust forming in real time. That is powerful.

The Podcast

Through our podcast, Tod Talks, we sit down with local experts, founders and family focused businesses. We talk honestly about parenting, home life, wellbeing and business journeys.

It gives parents useful insight and practical advice. It gives businesses a voice beyond a logo. It builds trust through conversation.

Again, it comes back to connection.

Three Regions, One Purpose

Across North Hampshire & West Berkshire, Oxfordshire and South Bucks, everything works together. The magazines, the website, the Daily Activity Planner, the newsletters, social media, LIVE! events and the podcast.

It is not about shouting the loudest. It is about showing up consistently and building something families can rely on.

At the heart of it all, I am simply a dad who wanted to create something meaningful. Something that supports parents, helps small businesses thrive and brings communities closer together.

If that sounds like something you would like to be part of, I would genuinely love to hear from you.
