They even have selcted toys out so you can demonstrate and play with them. Never had any problems with them at all and fab place to buy from.

Fantastic shop! I have used "Mummy and Little Me" from the earliest days of my pregnancy through to…read morebreast feeding and beyond! i keep going back for the superb personal customer sevice, attention to detail and the fabby range of mummy and baby stock.

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

Given that Yummi Mummi's website hasn't yet adjusted their postal address, and judging from the…read moresign in their window, I think that it is a brand new edition to Moortown Corner. And this is certainly no bad thing, that's for sure. Although I really dislike that particular phrase, 'yummy mummy' (a bit too cutesy and edible, and almost a patronising way of complimenting women) there is nothing to dislike about the shop itself. In fairness too, the shop name is perfectly adequate to describe what you can expect within. It is a unique concept boutique, which aims to provide mothers with comfortable and fashionable attractive night wear and accessories. Inside you will find all kinds of delightful items, from jewellery to handbags to clothing to accessories, in a beautifully thought out and specially design collection. It's clear from their designs, and from their website, that a lot of passion, creativity and tireless work has gone into making their boutique what it is! Not everything there is to my taste, but these things are always 'each to their own', and I can't actually flaw the product within. From hand made leather brooches, to cute floral reusable PVC bags, to fabric cupcake pin cushions - everything is quirky and delightful! Just reading their ethos on the website is enough to make you fall in love with their work. It seems their aim is to try to change the attitude that once women become mothers they cease to exist sexually, aesthetically and in terms of femininity - a very flawed and painful attitude that continues to rob mothers of their confidence and self worth today. For that alone these guys deserve one hundred stars! They also do yearly charity work, which for an indie shop is truly great (as we all know how indie shops must struggle themselves!) and they even have some great quotes from strong women on their site. All in all, this is a business that will grow and grow, and I look forward to watching this space!

On one of these occasions I decided to venture into Yummi Mummi in the hope of finding something sweet, special and not to expensive to give to a friend.
