*First order Discounts

Occasionally we offer 10% off your first order for certain brands, which is currently applicable to Nuna, Joie, Uppababy, Venicci and Baby Jogger. This is not applicable to sale items. At other times, we will offer a £25 store voucher for orders over £250. Please note, the total amount must be equal to or over £250 to qualify for this voucher. This does not include the standard delivery charge.

*Furniture and Self-Assembly Orders

All of our furniture, including garden structures, come flat packed unless stated otherwise. We take every effort to ensure the furniture arrives safely, though as there are wooden components parts can occasionally be damaged in transit. Therefore, please ensure that all furniture items are checked upon receipt, and any defects notified to us within 48 hours of receipt. Please also ensure that you have the correct items as ordered. If a picking error has occured and you are sent incorrect items i.e. colour/style we will not be able to accept these back if they have been assembled. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any courier damage claims that have not been notified to us within 48 hours of receipt. We would also ask that all panels are inspected prior to assembly as we cannot be held responsible for the cost, time or effort associated with dismantling items should a defect be identified after assembly. Should you employ a third party to assemble any item, we cannot be held responsible for the cost, time or effort associated. If we are notified of damaged parts after a third party has assembled the furniture, please note that any replacement parts would be charegeable as this would need to be claimed from the third party that assembled the furniture. Any parts identified as being damaged upon receipt will be replaced free of charge; please note that only the part(s) will be replaced, not the complete item. Unfortunately we cannot offer compensation should you choose to assemble an item with damaged parts.

Please note that we cannot be held not responsible for the disposal of packaging. Some larger furniture orders may be delivered on pallets. If this is the case, we are not responsible for the disposal of this pallet. If replacement parts are required, we cannot be held responsible for the disposal of damaged parts nor any extra packaging.

Your statutory rights are not affected.

In addition, any special promotional offers made available on this website cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional or voucher-based discounts.

Descriptions and Prices of Products

We have taken every care to describe and show products as accurately as possible. Despite this, products may vary from their descriptions. If there is anything that you do not understand, or if you wish to obtain further information, please contact hello@babyandchildstore.com. Images and colours can vary from time to time and we try and ensure that the correct images are always shown, however if the manufacturer makes slight changes from time to time and the product is slightly different from that shown we cannot be held responsible.

Manufacturers do from time to time update/upgrade items and their appearance can change slightly. Unless the item is materially different from that pictured or described we are not able to compensate for any changes.

Compatibility between different items is a guideline but cannot be guaranteed as manufacturers may change their specifications from time to time.

If, by mistake, we have under-priced a product, we will not be liable to supply that product to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the product to you. In those circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel your order. In the event we cancel your order, we will give you a full refund on any amount already paid for that product in accordance with our return and refund policy.

All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise stated.

Specifications, Colours, Weights and Sizes

We reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice. All sizes and weights are given as a guide only and are approximate. Representations of colour are approximate due to the limitations of photographic and calibrations of different output devices.

A name given to a product is not necessarily representative of the colour. If you have a specific requirement or are unsure as to the exact colour, please e-mail us for assistance before purchasing.

Wood is a natural product and therefore will carry minor imperfections and characteristics including grain, colour variation and knots, most nursery furniture is also soft wood and prone to small knocks and indentations. These characteristics are not classed as manufacturing defects. Manufacturers normally use different grades of wood for items such as cots or cot beds and therefore the finish can appear differently.

Accessories supplied to co-ordinate with the main product may differ in shade; this is normally caused by the manufacturing process and is not a fault.

Most car seats fit most cars however some manufacturers also provide suitability checks on their own websites. Where possible, please use the appropriate website to check car seat compatibility with your car as we are unable to guarantee the compatibility of any car seat in any vehicle.

Sizes of strollers are generally described in two ways: folded and unfolded. Folded being the smallest possible size that the item can be folded down to removing any easily removable parts. Unfolded, or open, providing the dimensions of the unfolded stroller with all essential parts such as wheel, handlebar etc. attached. Please enquire with our customer service for further information.
