Expensive and full of things that you really, really don't need…read more What do you mean, I have to write more? Okay, fine. Well, since I've got three kids I've been dragged round this place more than I care to remember. First I thought (as the marketing would suggest) that this was *the* place to get the stuff for your sprogs. Well yes, that's correct, but only if you want to have to mortgage your house to afford it all. Turns out that that's just owning kids, nothing to do with this place. However, there's always someplace cheaper that you can get things from when it comes to bringing up kids; charity shops and places like International Stock in Kings Heath usually have Mothercare or Early Learning Centre stuff for half the price, so I tend to go there first before parting with the cash here. However, if you really need a new mattress for the cot because the old one's just got covered in what looks like Cream of Sweetcorn, then this is your place. Just be prepared for three figures before the decimal point when you get to the till. Oh, and there's a Boots round the corner (not much cheaper) and a babies section in the Toys R Us not too far away. Get your phone out and start comparing!

If you are a BIG kid like me you will love this store!…read more Lots of nostalgic games that I remember from being a kid are here - kerplunk, operation, frustration the list goes on! The array and range of games they have here is unbelievable. Lots of games and puzzles for all ages, and baby accessories such as cots. They also have electric bikes and cars, Wendy houses and bikes. The only downside is that if you go here at the weekend, you can queue for a little while and this can take even longer if there are cranky kids in front! If you can't find the game you want I will be amazed!

The only problems I have ever had are when I have returned an item after Christmas and the queue is out of the door! The staff are great though and I feel sorry for them when they are that busy. Also recently found out they do a stock take around March (i think) so if you have ever wondered why they don't have much stock just after Christmas it is something to do with that and not ordering new stuff until after the stock take - was explained to me by a member of staff last year but I'm sure it was along the lines of that!!

Kids Corner is a whole sale baby clothes supplier store. I have only been here once but the quality…read moreof clothes are not too bad. Christening gowns, schoolwear, pyjamas as well as shoes are some of the things you will find. You do get value for money coming here and the prices of clothes are much cheaper than what you would find at high retail clothes stores. Parking is available on-site so parking shouldn't really be an issue. You may have to park on nearby side streets if there aren't any available spaces in the car park. It is only a five-minute walk from the City Centre to get here. And plus there are buses that stop directly outside the store. The staff are really helpful. If you do have any issues/questions, they will be answered. I must admit when I saw the outside of this store, I didn't think much of it. However there are bargains to be had here and I know some people who would be interested in coming here.

I, however, think it is a great shop and many bargains can be found. I went in on the opening day and was randomly picked by a strange man with a microphone who presented me with a £10 poundland voucher! I bought a leather ipod case (selling for £15 in Argos), some padded envelopes, chocolate, batteries to name a few, certainly got my moneys worth. Plenty of CDs & DVDs to choose from too, not exactly the latest hollywood blockbusters, but some good choices nonetheless.

Then watched her wandering around laughing and chatting with someone on her headset for 10 minutes. I went and found someone else who went 'to check if what I wanted was in stock', never to be seen again. Eventually the original girl walked past me and I reminded her that I had been waiting for ages for some help. She clearly wasn't interested in the slightest and carried on chatting and laughing with her friend on the headset while I tried to ask my question so I gave up and left. There seems to be no interest whatsoever in helping customers.

My daughter has been collecting the disney snow globes since being born well I suppose really its me collecting them but they belong to her!!! hehe!! they are absolutly gorgeous and also they are a good thing for little ones to collect as they range in prices from £5 for the little mini ones (which I think my daughter has mainly them in her collection) and then all the way up to mega bucks for the really posh ones, she only has one of these and I did not buy it, was a really great birthday gift. We tend to go to the store in Birmingham mainly and the staff are always fantastic, I suppose they have to be when they are surrounded by children all the time, but its a really loverly atmosphere we always spend at least an hour in ther, much to annoyance of my husband!!! The store is quite large, and the set out of the store also is very good, with a open planned feel, but also there are loverly little corners to the shop for eg, the parts where they sell all the figurines and the snow globes. just really cosy. The store is also always very clean, they always have plenty of staff on stand by to help, loads of baskets, catalogues etc etc, i find this store more than any other of the disney stores i have visted, very well run and very professional. I shop online with them also and find their website very easy to use and also they tend to also have a few bargains on there aswell. I do agree though with other people that some of their prices are way too expensivebut I think when you go into Disney your brain sort of stays at the door and you tend to get a bit carried away - so beware!! I am very involved in a local charity as you can see fom some of my other reviews and have been trying to get donations of gifts for a christmas fete and santas grotto I am arranging, So i wrote to the disney store as one of their warehouses is very close to me in Magna Park, Leicestshire and asked them if they could make a donation to the raffle. Well a week later I received a phonecall from a really wonderful lady from the Disney store advising me that there was a donation for me ready to collect at the warehouse. I was obviously very chuffed, but when I got there I was absolutly amazed. They gave me a huge box full of stuff; 40 packs of tinkerbell stickers 28 packs of Micky Mouse Clubhouse card games 3 Tinkerbell stamper sets 2 pairs of power ranger pj's 10 pairs of socks 3 pairs of tinkerbell pants a princess crown and wand a book a cinderella brolly 2 mugs 2 bowls and a really loverly letter wishing us luck... This only went to confirm what i already knewDisney is Awesome!!!!!
