Its very large and consists of two floors, the downstairs being Mothercare itself and the upper level being the Early Learning Centre. The store stocks a huge variety of all baby/children/toddler items including cots, pushchairs, and clothing for both the little ones and expectant mothers. There is also a Clarks shoe shop to the left hand side of the store where trained shoe fitters will be happy to help you kit out your children's feet. Shop staff are friendly and helpful, and always willing to demonstrate products. The only slight downside is the parking, which can get a bit crowded on busy weekends - however there are other car parks opposite for the stores across the way - Argos, Wickes and Next.

They have a fantastic selection of preloved baby items as well as new ones all at great prices. Staff are friendly and helpful and know what they are talking about. Upstairs they have a brilliant preloved maternity store, as we all know maternity clothing is highly priced and you never get enough wear out of it but here you can buy gorgeous items at a fraction of the normal cost.

It's not my normal territory, you know, Mothercare. Because I'm not a mother, and I don't really…read morecare, which generally absolves me from ever needing or feeling the urge to go into this shop. This all changed the other day, when my brother and his wife had their first child, a beautiful little girl called Peggy. I started to care. I understood what this care thing is about, and I became a mother. As I said it all changed. No wait... I just cared, I didn't become a mother. So anyway,now ticking one of the boxes, I entered Mothercare alongside my brother, to buy a Moses basket and some other baby related items? I always assumed (not that admittedly I thought about it much) that Mothercare was just a big impersonal superstore, much like a massive Sports shop, where essentially you would be left to your own devices, and things would be scattered around everywhere just waiting for the recession to seal the last nail in it's coffin. But actually it was not. Inside, it was surprisingly tidy and well kept, and the store assistants were empathetic and friendly to new, anxious mothers and fathers, as well as enthusiastic and helpful. As well as baby clothes, Mothercare is a prime place to get all your practical motherly/fatherly hardware, such as prams (which are on display like cars in a showroom), mobiles, cots, and nursing bras. I wouldnt recommend this shop as a cool place to hang out (obviously), but I would to mothers and fathers who want a serious shop for their little ones, and a friendly face to help them do it.

Good displays of highchairs, pushchairs and cots etc so you can have a good look see before buying. Products also sold are toddler's clothes, shoes, toys and a small selection of books. This shop also provides a very valuable free service of a changing and feeding room at the back of store, free to use with running water, nappy disposal and discreet area to breast feed. There was until recently an Olan Mills photo studio in this store which closed in December 2008 due to financial difficulties.

However, this is the first permanent location that I've seen for this franchise, which sells a wide selection of calendars. Walking around this shop on New Year's Eve saw some discounts after the Christmas gift frenzy. However, I held off any purchases as I suspect that the prices will drop further once we tick over into 2012. I'm eyeing a calendar of cute springer spaniels for a friend and a Winnie the Pooh one for myself. Happy 2012!
