There are four levels of registration for Children's Guide, and as their names indicate (sorry, couldn't help ourselves when naming them!), we'd be happy with whichever level you chose. A summary of these levels is in the table below, or click on the name of the levels for additional details.

Smiling - FREE for as long as you want, no catches!

Clapping - $100 for 12 months

Dancing - $250 for 12 months

Flying - $500 for 12 months

Amendments - all text amendments are free at all times. Simply email or phone with your changes (business log-in may become a feature in the future). To change a logo or photo with another image is $35 per logo/picture change within your 12 month registration period. Special offers do not apply.

Businesses in all categories and all areas are listed alphabetically first by "Flying level" businesses, followed alphabetically by "Dancing level" businesses, followed alphabetically by "Clapping level", then alphabetically by "Smiling level" businesses, and finally alphabetically by businesses with basic (public information) contact details.

Businesses can choose how much or how little to become involved in Children’s Guide. We understand that many businesses are small or micro businesses, just starting up, run from home or apprehensive about listing with parenting websites, particularly if your business gets lost in a sea of advertising. We want to build a very comprehensive yet easy-to-use website which benefits children, families and their communities and enables businesses to reach their markets easily. So we've developed the different levels ensuring that Children's Guide is fair and accessible to all businesses.

This is our job and Children's Guide does not receive any other form of external funding. Nor do we profit from traditional website advertising. There are no animations or movement, distracting pop-ups or pop-overs, scrolling messages, pay-per-click links, or general bombardment of information anywhere on this site distracting readers from the page they choose to be on or your business. Like all micro-businesses, we obviously need to make money to pay staff somehow, but it is up to individual businesses to select the level of registration which is right for them.

To register simply click one of the buttons above to take you to the registration page and submit your details. PDF versions of all registration forms can also be downloaded from each of the registrations pages as well as the Contact page and faxed or posted back. As soon as your registration is confirmed, your details will be added to this website and, if applicable a 14 day invoice will be sent if you select a registration level requiring payment. Once payment is received any links will become "live" and blog posts added.

The following table is a summary of the levels of registration. All elements are optional but we recommend that businesses provide as much detail as possible for the first four items which are free. You can read more about each level by selecting one from the column to the left.
