I bought pretty much all of my baby gear from The Baby Stanley Green, just off the A34 bypass. It's an enormous baby store in a warehouse with tons of lovely prams, cots, and every thing you need for your wee one. Their advice and service was great - and so is the follow-up service.

They run a lovely Mum's club every Thursday at 11am. It's free and a great way to meet other Mums. I've been to some lovely classes on baby massage, baby signing, breastfeeding etc. Really useful, really informative & really friendly. It's now a regular appointment in my diary and I can stock-up on bits and pieces on the day too. They keep a schedule meetings on their website. Best wishes - Jo xx
