  • Just as good as bardot junior

    This is one of my favourite store that I love shopping at for my daughter. At one stage I bought every girls cardigan they had and not only is affordable but it comes with cute price tags. There was an animal print pant they had at bardot junior that costed around $60 but I found a similar pair that almost looked identical at the kidstore for $20 you'll find so many good stuff

  • kids store web site

    when looking around the kids store web site there were very limited items for you to have a look at before going into there store 2 dresses for girls along with a swim set baby's were one set and boys were limited to i be leave they would benefit if they were to expand what they advertise on there web site this would encourage people to check there store out. if they were to add more products on there site and have a person on there where you could mix and match clothes on them this would be great and when you go to the store you would have a fair idea of what you are going to purchase i really enjoyed my review experience and loved having the chance to view the kidsclothes store i will be recommending this store to friends and id happliy go back and shop there again

  • Great quality reasonably priced.

    I would have loved this review! I love Kidstore clothes, they're excellent quality, reasonably priced and they have pieces that are just a little bit different. Their sizing is spot on and their sales are great too. The clothes we do own have washed and worn well. Highly recommend although my experience with sales staff is that they very eager.

  • So cute and funky

    I love The Kidstore. I went in there quite by accident one day and it was one of my best mistakes. They have a great range of funky clothing without being trashy and too over the top for little ones. They also have a great range of non toy gifts. We have purchased many a present at The Kidstore.

  • was sad to see fountain gate store close

    I worked across from the the store at fountain gate and I loved the clothes that they had. Great quality and beautiful colours. The only downside to this store was it's price. It was more expensive at times than bardot kids or pumpkin patch but although their clothes are great they aren't of the quality of those stores. In saying that I did find quite a few cheaper things there and miss the brightness that the store brought to the centre.

  • Out of my price range

    I didn't get chosen for this but found The Kid Store very expensive so whilst I didn't buy clothing which I must say looked of good & high quality I bought 2 little dolls for my 2 nephews so hopefully they will like them. There were some items on sale but nothing stood out & still too dear for my budget :)

  • Hit and Miss

    As the title states. I have been able to find a few great items for a reasonable price, but most items are over-priced and do not look or feel that great. I would even go as far as saying some pieces of clothing look like they have way too much frills and print on them that they look cheap.

  • poor

    My daughter got given some tee shirts from the kidstore it was cute but after the first wash it stretched out of shape marks on the shirt that i can get off other clothing of my daughters didn't come out, Also colour faded after one wash . Also i find it on the expensive side the material is quite thin and the clothing has quite a funny smell to it and you can smell it when you go in the store it smells almost of some like a chemical in the clothes. Sorry but compared to other stores it is on the expensive side considering the quality

  • personally its pricey.

    I love the style in the kidstore.. but for me on a strict budget.. its out of my price range which is a shame because not many stores have a variety for boys.. if I had money most definitly would shop here all the time.. I cant justify spending 60 dollarsuick

  • Kidstore in Mornington is THE BEST

    I love the Kids Store. I bought all my babies clothes there and they were so lovely and such great qualitiy. After many many washews, they kept not only their shape but also their vibrant colour. I also love the designs. I find them old fashioned yet modern at the same time.

  • Quality of clothes are excellent!

    This is a follow up review for the Kidstore.

    After a few months of wear, the shirts I bought for my toddler are as good as new. The prints have started bright and not even begun to fade, although I do take care to dry inside out. They haven't lost their shape at all and still fits perfectly.

    If they can put up with a toddler at childcare, I would recommend their clothes to anyone who likes their clothes to last!

  • Affordable

    I purchased three gorgeous jackets for bub from The Kidstore, and i love them all. I've received so many compliments for them every time bubs wears them. Also, even after going into the wash a few times they still maintained their quality which is fantastic as i know that bub can wear them over and over especially with winter coming.

Article 7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week

7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.

While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

    Reply

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
