Lovely big and easy to navigate store. The ground floor is clothing and upstairs (there is a lift if you've brought your buggy!) is a big early learning center and all the none clothing gubbins small children might require. Think buggies, car seats, bath mats, mini nail clippers, 76 different varieties of cups, bibs, etc, etc.
This visit I was looking for a winter coat and wellies for puff. They had a good selection of winter coats both water proof cagouley types and more dressy wool-type affairs. The other thing that I like about Mothercare is that the selection for little girls extents further than pale or dark pink! So puff got a lovely red puffy cagoule and matching red cat welly boots. She obviously quite likes them as the wellies go on after breakfast and if we try to remove them at any point screaming ensues!
Of course, I had a wee look at the Little Bird range - designed by Jools Oliver it really is my favourite range of kids clothing. So there may have been a couple of wee extras taken up to the till - no surprises there then.
Unfortunately, this Mothercare looses as star for the absence of staff on the floor. It took me ages to find someone to ask if they had a skirt in puff's size and then I was at the till for what seemed like eons before anyone appeared to take my money. Admittedly, the member of staff was lovely when she arrived. The new system they have to e-mail your receipt to you is brilliant, very handy when you are as useless with remembering to keep them as I am! read more
