### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-01-22*

Lovely, easy to navigate app. Really enjoying the podcasts !

### 5/5 — Really valuable and accessible

*2026-01-16*

The app is really helpful. Lots of really valuable information, easy to read and understand. A great resource to refer back to again and again. The videos and podcasts are a great addition and it’s nice to hear from real health visitors.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2026-01-16*

Loved all of the activities at the different ages. Videos are nice and have some useful information

### 5/5 — Lovely app!

*2021-10-14*

This is a very informative app, I’ve found it extremely helpful! Big thumbs up from me 😊 when I first downloaded it I didn’t realise that it covered 0-5 years, so that was a nice surprise! More information than I expected

### 1/5 — Clunky and poorly organised

*2020-10-09*

Downloaded on recommendation of my Health Visitor.
This app feels like a children’s first app project that just uses hyperlinks to information that is half missing and disjointed.

The NHS website is far better by miles. Don’t waste your time downloading this app.

### 1/5 — Info but no ideas

*2015-10-02*

Gives basic information but there are few suggestions for activities beyond telling you why something is important for your child to do. Currently , once you select a stage the back button doesn't work and the app is very clumsy to use. Great idea to have a free app like this but not very useful in its current form.

### 1/5 — BASIC

*2015-06-26, version 1.0*

I saw this app recommended in Community Practitioner and as a Community Nursery Nurse was interested to see what information this offered parents. I was very disappointed in how awkward it was to use having to keep pressing the back button. The information given was so basic and the format was boring. If the NHS has funded this it is a complete waste of precious money. There are so many more interesting websites, books and Children's Centres to give ideas of activities for babies and children. Don't bother to download it, I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it!
