Hi everyone, I am busy setting up a new aspect to my business which will involve leaving samples of my designer kidswear at your school/nursery for parents to order. I will pay a commission to the nursery towards fund/days out etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts, and if you have anyone doing anything similiar in your area at the moment.

All thoughts welcome.

Sounds really good. But how would you do it? Not all nurseries (mine especially) wouldn't have the space to store things, or even display the things. Or the time to explain all to parents.
we haven't got anything similar at the moment.

Hi Space, I am in North East England (Hartlepool). All done with brochure and order forms, so in theory could do via mail.

babygirl, this is the kind of feedback I am curious about, the option is I give enough packs of brochures that you can send them home with the child, would this be something you are prepared to do?

Thanks so much for your responses, Lindsay x

At the moment it's a range of designer t-shirts and baby gro's by a company called Stardust Kids (see the range here www.stardustkids.co.uk).

Will expand over time with different ranges.

Hey Linsaye. I work in the North east (yarm) and a work friend is also looking into that range of clothing do sell.Although not through the nursery so wouldn't be contributing to the business. Some of the clothes are really trendy, especially the baby grow!! The only nursery i know in Hartlepool is up for sale! Good Luck
