As a parent with a youngster that was growing up fast, I
realised that I was left with many toys and various
accessories that either did not get used or were used very
little. They were too good to just throw away and that
some friends asked if they could buy them. This was the
start of a business plan that could work to the benefit of
all concerned.

The then MP, Robert Halfon opening Quick Stop Baby Shop
Initially, I sold by word of mouth but quickly realised
that there was a large demand that I could not meet. At
this point I made a decision to actively search out items
people were asking for.
This was quickly snowballing and every vacant space in
our house was being used. Despite my daughter I was
able to combine my home needs with the now
flourishing business. My interest in everything to do
with babies helped the business and still does today.
As my daughter grew up I was able to try local markets
to test my business plan which would eventually lead
me to open a shop locally. Several years later, we have
moved forward to the present day premises happily
serving the local area.
Today my Facebook Group continues to grow and my
passion is still as high as it was when I first started. We
have now started to introduce new toys and baby
accessories at very reasonable prices. I understand that
with a young family time is of the essence and that
getting about can be demanding so by ordering by
phone, text or Facebook you can arrange to pick up
items locally and at a time to suit you!
All of the above has been made possible with massive
help from my husband, family and close friends and
Mum& Dad…. especially my Mum….Thanks Mum!!!
