Win Mother Care Vouchers
The Early Leaning Centre is a British popular store company, with outlets now open around the globe.
Created as a Wiltshire distance selling operation in the late 70s, the ELC is a haven for children’s toys – many of you shall reminisce about games with wood railway tracks in the outlets when we were children.
The past of the chain boasts a number of owners, at the time of writing the store network makes up part of Mother Care. After the acquisition of the Early Learning Centre operation in late ’07, Mother Care have integrated the ELC products into their Mothercare stores – you will find the Early Learning Centre brand next to Mother Care items.
Historically known for their wooden toys, in recent times the Early Learning Centre name has expanded into more contemporary materials, probably both to increase the types of toys to buy, but also to remain well priced and cost effective.
Reputation is of course key to any store supplying to the baby and toddler arena – and this powerful brand recognition is a massive contributor to the power of the ELC. Few mums and dads would be able to avoid the name, as it is a highly common option for gifts to babies, early christmas presents and the like. The careful designs of the toys provided by Early Learning Centre are not only a given but essential for people selecting gifts.
The Early Learning Centre chain seems remarkably resilient to the decline some high street stores have suffered with the internet shopping boom and more currently the recession – perhaps the peace of mind to handle and play with toys for kids provides significant protection.
Several times a year it is possible to get money off on orders from Mothercare, via discount voucher sites such as OfferUp so that you can benefit from free delivery, or perhaps a reduction to give 10% discount.
