I really like dorothy perkins because they have lovely fashion items at high street prices. their…read moresales are super and but its best to hold off buying until the sale nears the end becuase they reduce things even more - like from 50% to 75% the last week of the sale. the petite department is also fabulous because you can get the fashionable pieces in shorter lenghth which is waht i really need. sometimes you get really ugly petite clothing but dorothy perkins is fab!

Store located in the middle of the busy Metrocentre; it's not as large as the shop in the nearby…read moreTeam Valley retail world but it has a good selection. There's maternity and baby clothing, a toy section, nursery and feeding equipment and travel systems/buggies. It's one of the first places that many expectant parents go to when they're planning out their needs and it's a good place to start. The maternity clothing range isn't very exciting though not as frumpy as I remember it being a few years back and the quality is good. Their baby clothing is quite expensive, I think, including the new Baby K range from Myleene Klass. The store has two floors with stairs between and a lift in store for access between levels.

This store is smaller than some in the mothercare chain and as such sells a limited number of items…read morecompared to other stores, so if you're going for something in particular then I would recommend ringing in advance to make sure that they stock it. If you're not in a rush then they will order it online for you and deliver it to your home on standard delivery for free. However, they do have a good selection of basics including all of the ranges from feeding, bathing, sleeping, nursery items, maternity wear and products and gifts too. They also have a lot of pushchairs and buggies on display so you can see what you are buying. However, with it being inside the shopping mall i'm not certain how they go about checking the fit of carseats in your own car? although i have not asked about this. To be honest, i find that it is useful for smaller items but for anything larger or that i may need help with I always go to the larger store at the Team Valley after receiving extremely poor customers service at the metrocentre branch when my buggy needed repairing after only a few months. This may be because of the smaller size of the store, they have less staff, despite it still being very busy. This means that you often have to wait for an assistant and when you do get to speak to someone they are often rushing to get to speak to the next person waiting. Overall, I would say that the shop is very good if you know what you're after although I would go elsewhere or at a very quiet time if you think that you're going to need some advice.

Security ran after my cousin when she was halfway down the street. This could've been handled in store.
