Mumsnet endorsements

The Mumsnet Rated and Best Award are the ultimate stamps of parents’ approval, combining our trusted brand with the authenticity of our mighty community of real parents. 

“We're proud to announce that eSpares is officially Mumsnet Rated, and 100% of Mumsnetters surveyed said they would recommend us. Mumsnet has championed women and families for over 25 years, so receiving their recognition feels especially meaningful. A big thank you to the Mumsnet community, and to all of our customers who inspire us every day to make repairs that little bit easier.”

We offer two different endorsement routes

Product test & Mumsnet Rated

The Mumsnet community tests and reviews your product or service. If 80% say they would recommend it, your product is awarded the Mumsnet Rated badge.

Mumsnet Tested

Products or services are reviewed and scored by our editorial team. If they meet our standards, your product will be awarded the Mumsnet Tested badge and featured in our reviews or buyer’s guides.

Trust is now as important as quality and price when consumers choose products.

Mumsnet Rated is the ultimate stamp of our community’s trust in your product.
