Baby boom at thecentre:mk

Recent research from money experts LV= has revealed that the estimated costing of raising a child to the age of 21 has broken the £200K barrier for the first time*. However, the Mother, Baby & Toddler Show from the 10-13 June at regional shopping destination, thecentre:mk, has plenty of exhibitors to help you choose the best course for you and your growing family.

From the 10-13 June, over 65 exhibitors will be in Middleton Hall at thecentre:mk providing a variety of solutions for raising your children. At the show you can find out about the best available buggies, top baby names and what you need for your nursery; see designer baby clothing, high chairs and everything else you may need for your little one's arrival.
 
“Having your first, second or even third child can be quite daunting,” commented Jackie Tracey, events manager at thecentre:mk. “From nappies, to buggies and through to schooling; parents are faced with a myriad of choices. Although there are a host of websites out there to help, nothing beats talking to people and trying things for yourself.

That’s where the Mother, Baby & Toddler Show comes in, visitors will be able to visit stands displaying equipment for newborns, talk to exhibitors about nurseries and even plan their financial futures!”
