How I agree with Doris Short (Letters, January 31) - surely it is far nicer and kinder for your kids to leave them in a creche with caring staff, loads of toys to play with and other children to interact with than to drag them round the shops.
If you want a meaningful educational experience for your children, send them to a nursery school.
If you want to give them respite from the tedium of a shopping trip, a creche attached to a shopping centre must be the perfect solution. I only wish such facilities had been available when my kids were little.
