New Beginnings Personalised Shopping Experience

Are you expecting a baby?

Confused by the choice of prams and seemingly endless lists of "vital equipment"?

We have just launched our "Personalised Shopping Experience" in which we open up the shop out of hours just for you! Put your feet up, enjoy some refreshments, get anything you want demonstrated, and ask as many questions as you like!

Fiona & I are mums too and after 6 years in the shop know a bit about prams ! We can point you in the right direction and navigate the maze of baby equipment with you.

At the end of the consultation we can give you a summary of our recommendations for you to take away. To book simply call us on 01684 274448.

National Child Safety Week 22-26th June

Accidents are the second biggest childhood killer in the UK. Six children and young people die every week. 2,000 more are admitted to hospital every week because they’ve been injured in accidents. Some are left scarred for life or permanently disabled.

The tragedy is that many of these deaths and serious injuries can be prevented.We can keep children Safer, Together by working together to prevent serious injuries and death from accidents. We all have a role to play in this.

We are proud to support Child Safety Week by offering discounts and special offers on safety equipment during this week. Available in store or online at http://www.newbeginningsbabyshop.co.uk/

TOP TEN SAFETY TIPS TO PREVENT FALLS

1. Babies wriggle and roll so never leave unattended on a change unit, or change on the floor.

2. Always use a 5 point harness in highchairs and pushchairs. Where there is only a 3 point harness make sure it is tight around the waist.

3. Never place a bouncing cradle or car seat on a table or worksurface as these can move and fall.

4. Use corner cushions on sharp edges when babies are learning to toddle.

5. Always have a fireguard in place if you have a hot fire.

6. Use Safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs. If possible use a gate without a bottom rail to prevent tripping.

7.Keep floors free of clutter and toys when babies are learning to walk. They don't watch where they put their feet and can easily trip.

8.Fit windows with safety locks to restrict opening to less than 6.5cms as serious injuries can result in falls from windows.

9. Use Safety glass or film on any glass door or window at floor level.

10. Don't put chairs or furniture close to windows where they can climb onto and out.

Product of the Week - Travel Potty

Must be potty training time. These travel potties have been flying out this week. It's a clever idea - a fold down potty that has disposeable liners. Perfect for that inevitable " I need a wee wee and I need it NOW!". Another plus is that you can use it on top of a toilet as a trainer seat, or for use in public toilets when they don't want to sit on "that!".

The Potette comes with its own travel bag for convenience and 3 liners and is priced at £13.00. If you need more liners they are available separately in a pack of 10 for £3.00.

The Potette is available in three colours green/purple, blue, or pink and you can buy online at www.newbeginningsbabyshop.co.uk or in store.

Top selling items

From time to time I will post details of our best selling items, both online and in the shop.

Last week, with the sun shining, we had a clear winner - The Outlook Solar Shade. This is such a simple idea which is far more effective than the traditional parasol. Basically it acts as an extension to the hood on your buggy. Made of fabric which is UPF50+ you tie it over your existing hood and it provides shade and safety from the sun for your baby or child. Priced at £25.00 it's money well spent to keep your children safe from the sun.

It comes in a choice of six colours.
