Mamas & Papas has everything the expectant parent might need!…read more For pregnant ladies, Mamas and Papas has a lovely range of maternity clothes, a bit pricey but it's important to have some items in your wardrobe when pregnant that make you feel a bit special so it's worth spending a little extra. There's also a great range of baby clothes, again these are quite pricey - for everyday babywear perhaps a bit too pricey, but the baby clothes would make lovely gifts for new parents. There is a wide range of buggies, pushchairs and prams and theres always a member of staff on hand to show you how they work (people not familiar with modern prams, sometimes you need a degree to operate all the different functions) You can also get everything you need for babies nursery, theres a selection of furniture including cots, wardrobes, draws changing units and moses baskets. You can also get bits and bobs for slightly older children such as high chairs/potties etc

If I could give stars for staff alone Mamas and Papas would easily score a Five. Being completely…read moreclueless in the baby/child/kidlet department I never have any clue on what to get for new babies and the onset of their entry into this fine world we have. I am also without clues when it comes to birthday gifts, christenings, Christmas, Easter, or general kidlet visitations, the staff at Mamas and Papas are amazing. From attempting to sort myself out with a gift and then getting really rather desperate through second guessing myself, and swearing to myself and my friends that I'd definitely seen something here...I think, a lovely lady came over to me, ensuring that she didn't mean to pry but was there anything she could help me with. I told her I was crap at this sort of thing, and she took the key statistics; sex, age, occasion, time required to sort a gift, public transport or in the car, that sort of thing, and then suggested a few things to me, and walked me around the rather large store to point out what was within range and appropriate for my friend's new bundle of joy. She explained the important stuff, especially where the baby clothes and blankets and bedding stuff was concerned, all good for even the most sensitive of babies. I recalled I'd seen something I'd like for the kid and I couldn't see it, so she enlisted the help of another shop bod and they got to work on looking for the item in question, and then trawled through the store catalogue, and then hit the internet version, spotted it, said that I could have it personalized and delivered to the store, that way I could check it before I had no way of bringing it back. There was no being pushy or rude, just genuinely trying to help me and my issue and my lack of competance at dealing with newborns. Navigating the store there was pretty much everything you could think of in the way of babies and expectant mothers. With "rooms" set up in character themes, displaying cots, blankets, bedding, baby clothes and baby gear of all varieties, to give the idea of what it all would look like in your own home. Got another kidlet on the way soon, and for this little treasure I will be back to Mamas and Papas to get some staff help and a baby gift.

We purchased the wave and then a week later I had baby brain panic and changed my mind on the colour I rang up and they changed it no problem after I had been worrying like mad.

Mothercare, particularly this store on Clifton Moor is brilliant and the perfect place to go to get…read moreeverything you need for your little bundle, from prams and pushchairs to potties parenting manuals! They have a fantastic range of just about everything you might need! and the staff are on hand to help you with whatever you need eg car seats are tricky and need to be fitted carefully and the staff are always happy to help you get the right one. There's toys for newborns right the way up to older toddlers, although, I find that they are slightly costly. There is a lovely selection of clothes - including school clothes, again, can be slightly costly but they regularly have sales that see some good reductions. All in all, if you're a parent, it's definitely worth a look

We were served by Monika who was very helpful, knowledgable and really did go the extra mile in making us feel we were visiting the right place to make our purchase. She knew all about the fittings, safety regs, could relay her own experience and overall was very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. I'm not sure if she is one of the managers here but she should be if not. They stock a vast range of prams, buggies and baby related stuff - top tip: parking is around the back and you get to it from the main junction traffic lights. They'll happily come out and test-fit something in your car for you.

It does mean that it packs plenty of stock and by observation, more range of goods just by comparison. With the Early Learning Centre now combined with Mothercare, it is ideal for parents to find everything they could possibly want, to help raise their child.

Mothercare has been the main place for parents for a long time and it fully deserves to be; not hard to see why.

Baby Boom has a lovely bright window display with an amazing amount to show in quite a small window. Once inside the store you will find that it is quite small but don't let that put you off. On closer inspection you will find quite a good range of push chairs and prams from smaller less known makes to famous brand names and most of them at significantly reduced prices. Baby Boom also sell cots and bedding, walkers, gates and feeding paraphernalia as well as new born clothing. The quality of the products is good and the atmosphere when you look around is excellent.
