This review is for Toys R Us , Chadstone VIC

Toys R Us have a pretty large range of toys and prices are usually reasonable but there is never any staff to assist. All the staff look about 16 and appear to have no interest in the world in their job and very little knowledge of the products they are selling. When it comes to paying there is usually a long line at the counter. My children do love going there mind you and there are always lots of toys around for them to play with. and you can always pick up something cheap to keep them entertained.

I have visited this salon three times. First time I got a blow dry and style before a wedding which looked great. Next time I got a haircut from Nikki. I wanted a chance of style and was very happy with the cut and got so many compliments after. Next time I had a colour with another girl who was so lovely and my colour turned out great. The salon is nice, big and bright and is in a great location on church street.

I have visited this shop once before and found the owner r pushy and had a bad attitude but went back thinking I may have imagined it.. but no way he was so much worse next time. The minute you step inside he follows you around and gets angry and rude if he thinks you may not be about to spend lots of money in his shop. My son cried and argued when I refused to buy him a skateboard and the man shook his head and made a face and said "we don't like noise" Maybe he doesn't like mothers who don't buy their kids every toy they want in his shop? To be honest there wasn't a chance of me buying anything as everything is very overpriced.

The outdoor area is great for getting a little sun and people watching. The food usually tastes good but not amazing which I think it should do considering the prices. The service is very average, I usually get served by some young girl who may be goodlooking but also dopey and uninterested. Overall I think the main thing going for it is the location and they are lucky there is a lack of real competition in the area.

This is one of the best cake shops I have ever been to. Everything is baked fresh on premises and the best part in my opinion is the fresh cream ..which is real unlike most cakeshops. I got birthday cakes here for both my kids birthdays which looked amazing and also tasted great. My children love their cupcakes and everything is v reasonably priced. The staff are lovely and even though it's busy they are always good humoured and helpful. My only issues are that the outdoor area is a little squashed and could be nicer and the coffee is not the best.

This review is for Brown Cow, Hampton VIC

I just love the Brown Cow, it has a great outdoor deck area which always seems to be sunny and filled with nice people having lunch and wine or mums with kids (v. child friendly,provide crayons and paper and good child menu) The coffee is usually great and same with food. The staff are always good humoured and helpful and really there is nothing I don't like about it. (Actually would like if people were not allowed to smoke even though it's not undercover but thats the case everywhere here)

I started going to Lee a few months ago after reading about her on womow. I rarely go to the same hairdresser twice as I have never had a colour/cut that I was really impressed with but I have gone back to Lee about 4 times now. My colour just looks so much better than previously and seems to stay looking good for so much longer. I am also happy with my cut, she seems to just know what you want. I bring my kids and she is very tolerant! There is a little play area and she has the best kids dvds. She also gave them a great haircut last time.

This shop is great if your child is into spiderman, bob the builder,Dora or pretty much any character. There is a great range of clothing at r. good prices and bits and pieces you don't find in other kids shops. The owner is so lovely and will order in almost anything you request such as "Ninija turtles pjs" and will often discount the marked price as well. They do sell other clothing for babies etc and even little formal outfits.

This review is for Daydreamers, Windsor VIC

I really liked the layout at Daydreamers.. it is designed so that your kids can be easily seen at all times..I get anxious if I cant see them as they are pretty young still and at other playgrounds I spend all my time following them around whereas here I could actually sit and have a coffee. And more importantly of course my kids had a great time. The climbing frame is fun and not too enclosed and they loved the slides. There are lots books, ride on cars, wii and other stuff to keep them entertained. The cafe has a better menu than most other indoor playgrounds and includes some healthy organic items. The only negatives were that it was bit busy and noisey but was school hols ,and also staff bit slow to clean tables and floor, lots food around tables towards end of day.

This review is for Chiropractic Solutions, Bentleigh East VIC

Chiropractic Solutions is run by two chiropractors Luke and Neil. I have been seeing Luke for aprox. 6 mths now. I initially attended because of headaches which were related to neck/back with really good results and have continued to attend for maintenance and also to sort out any running related aches and pains. I am training for a marathon and he has been able to treat vague ankle pain , knee pain etc. which otherwise would have slowed down if not stopped my training. I would highly recommend Luke to anyone who has sports related problems. My neighbour attends Neil and says that he is excellent also. Everyone working there is really nice, friendly and cheerful. They are open long hours and therefore great for giving appts at whatever time suits me.
