It has really become our only and most valuable form of marketing!” Anna Tyzack, The Telegraph & Thomas’s Clapham parent says... “Every parent needs to know about The Directory. It’s a comprehensive list of “tried and tested” companies that have been recommended by parents (with children at Thomas’s London Day Schools).”
