Babycare Petts Wood

I’ll be honest I didn’t read the review from the qype user and ventured in. The previous reviewer is correct this place is in need if a little refurbishment actually a lot. Yes I can confirm it lack the 21^st century touch but usually these would be the hall marks of a great hidden gem for me.
The idea was to find something worth my while for my little girl and I was disappointed. Firstly with the service, how can you just stand there with your friend by the till and have a good old chinwag and you have a pair of fresh faced married couple looking for a gem. Now take my next statement with a pinch of salt as I could well and truly be over reacting but I notice one of the two mature ladies look at me and my wife and turned her face in a way to say we won’t be serving you. Make of it what you will but I can honestly say the pair did not look at us again!
Secondly, the while time we were in the shop we didn’t see anything we couldn’t have purchased from mothercare or mamas & papas at a slightly cheaper price. Maybe we came in the shop with the wrong attitude if finding a bargain at a quiet corner shop besides the station and the staff could sense this of us or maybe they just didn’t want to perform any form of customer service because they were not feeling bothered.
So in summary, did I find and hid gems no because other shops other the same thing, did I find a bargain, no because the other same shops offer the products at the same price if not less.
I believe you pay the extra because of the sought after prime location and the first class attentive customer service, which would explain everything :(
Maybe if I come back this place will come across better but the review coupled with the star rating is an honest reflection of the time.

This store feels like it hasn’t changed much since the seventies or eighties. It isn’t particularly modern inside and some of the items they have do seem to suggest that they have been inspired by the seventies/​eighties but this is a really good store for baby furniture and clothing. Last time I was in there was whilst I was with my nan and she wanted to buy something for one of my cousins. There was an older lady working in the store and she had such a warm smile and was so helpful and sweet. It’s worth a little look as it is off the beating track and can be quite competitive against high street stores.
