Over The Moon Kids Boutique & Shoe Studio

If you're after decent kids' clothes and shoes in town, Over The Moon is worth a look. It’s got a cracking 4.9 stars on Google from 35 reviews, which is always a good sign, right? It’s not a massive place, but they pack a good selection in. You'll find it right in the centre of Southport, easy to get to.

They've got a good range of brands, a bit more upmarket than your usual high street stuff, and the staff are always really helpful. I popped in there myself when my niece needed new school shoes, and they knew their stuff. Prices are what you'd expect for the quality, so don't go expecting Primark bargains.

Opening hours are a bit odd – closed Mondays and Wednesdays, but otherwise 10 'til 5. You can give them a ring on 01704 545884 if you want to check if they've got something specific in stock before trekking in. They also have a website if you want to take a peek first.

Bear in mind it can get pretty busy on Saturdays, especially during school holidays, so maybe aim for a weekday if you can to avoid the crowds.
