Sell all knids of things and all sizes of clothes can be found either for yourself or for family as well as items for fancy dress or school plays can also be found. Friendly staff who let you look around.

The best thing is they are all at discounted prices! Ideal for buying childrens presents or buying items for party bags, I wish we had the works store in my home town!

This is the largest Christian bookshop I know of in England…read more It is great for cards for religious occasions, Bibles for Children and any other person. Books on theology, life stories, and study of Christian faith. Just about any book about Christianity can be found here.

If Christianity is your subject then this bookshop is a must. I am no expert on this subject but…read morewhen I took someone there recently they appeared to have a very wide range of literature, tapes and cd's. The staff were very friendly and seemed to know what they were talking about. My only criticism is that there is no disabled access as they are on a corner and there is no room to build a ramp. However there is a sign outside saying that if the doorbell is pressed they will bring a ramp out for the person to use.

Not the cheapest place to shop, but you pay a little extra for quality. Range includes things like jewellry, picture frames, greeting cards, ornaments, home furnishings, books and many other items.

The early learning centre is stashed away behind the lift and escalators in the main area of the…read moreDolphin shopping centre. Early learning stocks children's toys and activities and is one of the first places you should look if you are looking for inspiration on gifts. They have many ideas and plenty of arts and crafts as well as toys and games. They also stock garden toys as well. I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful but if you have young children be prepared for it to take you extra long while in the shop as the little ones try out all the toys. Plenty of parking like the rest of the Dolphin centre and public transport on hand.

Its new facelift this year really has improved it, giving it a fresh breath of life into the store. I really used to love Toys R Us as a child, I was only allowed to visit once or twice a year to get christmas and birthday and I loved going round with all the toys. As an adults toys and games still have they're appeal but to me Toys R Us has lost it, catering for cheap quality imported toys to sell easily and it really does annoy me. And the prices aren't competitive at all. Still good for board games and often has 3 for 2 on different brands.

There is easy parking and the store is really easy to navigate. Staff are friendly and helpful and are also very informative on the products on offer. Not the cheapest toy store in town when you have Tesco's Homebase and the entertainer nearby. They also seem to not have everything in stock and tend to sell out of all the newest and most wanted toys so quickly and take ages to get stock back in.
