Baby Shops: We have compiled a directory of baby shops and stores in the UK where you can go to purchase baby stuff. The shops are compiled by town, county and city. The list includes the major retail shops such as Argos and Mothercare and many more. To locate shops near where you live just choose a town or city nearest to your home and start from there. The lists include the name of the store, the physical address and their telephone number. If you have navigation device you can just enter the postcode and it will show you the route and how far you need to travel. However, we hope that most parents will only be a walk away from their nearest store. The telephone number is there for you to call and get directions or find out if what you are looking for is available before you travel. Click here for the baby shops directory. Parenting and Early Learning: Education is your child's passport to the future. We are currently working and collecting data on nursery and pre-schools in the UK. The list will be added as soon as we have a large enough list covering a wide enough area. You will be able to find preschools and nursery schools that are within walking distance or near where you live. A link will be posted on this page as soon as the directory listings are ready. Feel free to submit listings if you wish. The schools will be arranged by town and city. Some interesting quotes about babies: 1. "There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it." - Irena Chalmers 2. "When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels." - Eileen Elias Freeman, The Angels' Little Instruction Book 3. "It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money." - Elinor Goulding Smith 4. "People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one." - Leo J. Burke 5. "A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on." - Carl Sandburg
