Balanced Mum participates in various affiliate marketing programmes. This means that if you click certain links on this site and go on to sign up for a service or make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you — the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.

Why we use affiliate links

This site is free to read and doesn’t run traditional advertising banners. Affiliate commissions are one of the ways we’re able to keep producing free content, guides and downloads for UK families.

Our approach to recommendations

We only recommend products, apps and services that we’ve personally used, tested, or thoroughly researched. Whether or not a company pays a commission has no bearing on whether we think it’s genuinely useful — we turn down partnerships that don’t fit that standard, and our opinions in reviews are our own.

Where you’ll see affiliate links

Affiliate links may appear within blog posts (for example, our reviews of savings apps or guides to reselling platforms), in our free resources, and in emails. Individual posts that contain affiliate links carry their own short disclosure near the top of the article as well.

Third-party cookies

Clicking an affiliate link may set a cookie on your device so that the company involved can attribute the referral to us. This doesn’t give us access to any of your personal or payment information. See our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy for more detail.
