We were taken round and had our ’Buying for Baby’ session with Charlotte from the Crawley store in County Oak. She was phenomenal, going in as slightly nervous first time parents, she was warm, friend... See more

Lorraine helped me during my mammas and pappas 1-1 appointment! She had a great knowledge of all the products was incredibly kind and reassuring!
Don’t buy anyone a gift from here!!!
So so disappointed. Was gifted a beautiful blanket from mamas and papas as part of my baby shower. Once this was opened ready to be washed, after the birth of my son. It was faulty and has a discoloured line down it. Customer service via Facebook seem unwilling to help as I can’t provide proof of purchase for a gift and the person who gifted it no longer has the receipt. I can’t take this to the store as I have a newborn and don’t need to make an unnecessary journey. Not what I expected from a much loved brand. So upset that this is my first experience as a parent with this company.

I placed an order for click and collect…
I placed an order for click and collect to be collected from the Brent Cross store and got email same day to say it was ready which was nice! However it was today my Husband went to collect it and the order was not ready. The staff went around taking the items off the shelf whilst my husband waited and he even got asked what colours did we order for our items! I mean, we placed an order, you look at the order as you are fulfilling it not to mention it should have been ready anyway!! Later I got told the staff member was on her telephone and the atmosphere when you walk in is not professional. When we have been in before to browse as was pregnant, staff just chatting. It took a long time before shouting out to us if we needed any help, they did not even walk to us to speak. Baring in mind we are first time parents to be, we had no idea on travel systems and some genuine help and advice would have been nice. Customer service has gone downhill in some retail stores more so this Mamas and Papas in Brent Cross.

Cynthia and team were super helpful!
We had a superb experience with the wonderful Cynthia at Next Shoreham. She was very patient as she helped us try different models in not one but two cars (either end of the car park!).
We really appreciated the time Cynthia gave us and her colleagues were also really kind and full of advice, particularly regarding the vegan aspect of our new wheels.
Thank you Shoreham Mamas & Papas team!
Grandparents buying a car seat
We are grandparents wanting to buy a car seat, Gail and Leighton took the trouble to fully understand our situation (2 grandchildren, a newborn and a 1 year old) and what we needed. They raised things we hadn’t thought of, researched options and prices and could not have been more helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Buying for baby session
Booked a buying for baby session and was show around the products and the store by Stella. It was a great experience - no pushy sales tactics and just a good conversation about our needs and wants. The store had a good range of products and I would feel comfortable buying from there. A positive experience all round.
Knowledgeable and friendly service
I was served today by Cara at the Giltbrook store in Nottingham. I hadn’t booked an appointment but when asked questions, she was very knowledgable and informative with all the products and demonstrations. I purchased a pram bundle for our newest arrival in November and Cara was on hand to explain all the payment options too. Great experience 👍🏻
Buying 4 Baby appointment at Martlesham store
We had our Buying 4 Baby appointment today at Mamas & Papas in Martlesham and we were served by Lily. She was amazing, so knowledgable and very easy to talk to! This is our first baby so we were very unsure what we needed or wanted! Lily helped narrow down our choices and listened to what things we were looking for in our travel system. We came away so relaxed and confident in our purchases, and that was all down to how helpful Lily was! It was really busy in the store and there were only 2 members of staff, and they both managed the flow whilst remaining focused on their appointments. I hope she gets recognised for her really hard work and commitment to her job she is an asset to Mamas & Papas!
Fantastic experience with Rebecca
We had a fantastic experience with Rebecca at the Meadowhall Mamas and Papas. We came for a Buying for Baby appointment with only a vague idea of what we were looking for. We knew we wanted practical, functional baby equipment and weren't too concerned about style. We originally thought we'd just buy a car seat and perhaps come back for a coordinating travel system later.
Rebecca was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She quickly helped us narrow down the options within our budget and explained which features would suit our needs best. She also went out of her way to find answers to the questions we had, such as checking compatibility between different products and explaining how long our baby could safely use each car seat. As first-time parents, we really appreciated having someone who took the time to explain everything without making us feel silly.
She also personalised the offers available to us and even price matched a competitor's promotion, meaning we ended up getting an amazing deal on a travel system. Thanks to her help, we felt confident enough to buy it that day rather than waiting.
At no point did we feel rushed or like we were being "sold to". Instead, Rebecca made us feel supported and confident that we were making the right decision for our baby. We couldn't have asked for better service and would highly recommend asking for Rebecca if you're shopping for baby equipment.
Excellent customer service from Kendal at the Gateshead Store
Kendal at the Gateshead store was absolutely brilliant in helping us decide on the type of pram we needed for our son, who is due in December. As first-time parents, we were pretty clueless, wandering around the store trying to find the best option for us and staring blankly at all the different bundles available.
Kendal was so knowledgeable about all of the different products in store and explained everything to us clearly. She completely understood how overwhelming buying for a baby can be. She also had such a friendly and warm personality, which totally put us at ease when everything initially felt quite daunting.
We will definitely be purchasing our pram bundle from Mamas and Papas, and we can’t thank Kendal enough for all of her help the other day.

We had a booked in store appointment…
We had a booked in store appointment today at Brent Cross with Sahar. As first time parents, Sahar was so friendly and kind, also very informative and was able to give us all the information we needed to assist with our decision on travel system. You made our experience so pleasant so thank you!
Baby Booking Appointment
We had a Baby Booking appointment at Mamas & Papas Swindon with Laura, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. We were even offered bottles of water, which was such a thoughtful touch.
Laura was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We came in with very little knowledge of prams or baby equipment and were complete novices when it came to knowing what we wanted. She listened carefully to what we needed, took the time to understand our lifestyle and what we were looking for, and guided us through all of the different options without ever making us feel overwhelmed.
Laura talked us through the different prams, nursery furniture and all of the other baby essentials we’ll need, explaining everything in a clear, informative and easy-to-understand way. She demonstrated exactly how the prams worked, then encouraged us to fold, lift and try them ourselves so we could make sure they were the right fit for us. This hands-on approach made such a difference and gave us the confidence to make an informed decision.
Laura answered every question we had with patience and expertise. At no point did we feel pressured into buying anything. Instead, she gave us honest, practical advice about what was genuinely essential, which we really appreciated.
Our appointment lasted around an hour and a half, and throughout the appointment we never once felt rushed. Laura was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and genuinely passionate about helping us. She turned what could have been a really overwhelming experience into something exciting, enjoyable and memorable.
Thank you, Laura, for making our baby shopping experience such a positive one. We honestly can’t thank you enough for all your help and guidance. We left feeling so much more confident and informed, and we would highly recommend booking an appointment with Laura if you’re expecting a baby – she’s fantastic!
Had our buying for baby appointment…
Had our buying for baby appointment today, had to wait a little while for Romy to be free as the store was busy but worth the wait. Came in feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what we needed, was so beneficial to book the time to talk through our list we set up ahead of time and she had reviewed before our meeting to help guide us through what we thought we wanted or liked and what we actually needed.
Left feeling much more organised and really appreciated that Romy had recently been through this journey and used many items we had looked at, so we benefited from her sharing her real life experience and recommendations. 100% recommend booking the appointment, didn't feel pressured to buy anything and the whole process was flexible and supportive. The vouchers are also a great benefit and Romy helped us maximise hitting the next threshold which was only £30 away as we had lost track.
Chelmer Village - Mamas and Papas
Emily at the Chelmer Village shopping centre was very helpful when I went in looking for a cotbed set. She explained the different options and shared her knowledge with me and we are very happy with our purchase.
Great experience
We went to Mamas & Papas in Next at Ventura Retail park, Tamworth and Kim was on hand to help! She was amazing from start to finish and answered all the questions we had as first time parents! Strongly recommend to visit this store, all the staff were welcoming and helpful 😁
Really knowledgeable and helpful
We needed a pram and car seat and had very little idea of where to start! Donna at Swansea Mamas and Papas was so knowledgable and helpful - we came away really happy with our purchase and feeling confident in our choice. Thank you Donna x
Thank you Romy!
Romy at Mamas and Papas in Bedford has been fantastic! She’s lovely and friendly, and also so knowledgable about the products. We left feeling really confident in our choices and really reassured and having bought a travel system and baby carrier. Thank you Romy!
We visited the Teeside park branch…
We visited the Teeside park branch today and a lovely assistant, Claire, helped us out. First time parents and completely overwhelmed by prams. She listened to our needs and gave us so many brilliant recommendations and demonstrations - so impressed with knowledge and friendly attitude and ended up reserving a pram on our first visit which we just did not expect!! Thanks so much Claire!
Buying for Baby appointment worth it!
Buying for Baby appointment with Jo in MK was super helpful. She was very knowledgeable and helped us to break down exactly what we need as first time parents.
