Ecclesbourne Uniform Update
Wise Owls School uniform
As well as ourselves, another long time supplier of uniform for The Eccelsbourne School has been Jo at Wise Owls School uniform. She recently reached out to us expressing her concerns over being able to provide the very personal home visit service that she had been offering with the special restrictions that will affect us all for some time. I am so pleased that she has the confidence in us to recommend us to her customers. As a long time supplier she will no doubt be missed and we are confident that we can meet the expectations of her loyal and new customers.
We have been a supplier of uniform to The Ecclesbourne School for many years as Children’s Choice based in Belper. Last summer was the first year at our new showroom in Ilkeston and we have been encouraged by the feedback we have received and the customers we have retained. Now rebranded as Loop Wear we are still offering the personal service that made the Belper shop so popular, but with the addition of our own car park and a little more space to help customers have a calm shopping experience.
Showroom Re-opening, Covid-19 friendly
Now more than ever we will see the positives of both the building we have moved to and the website which has been so well received by parents. With shops opening as of the 15th June we will be once again welcoming parents in to get the correct sizes for school uniform.
We haven’t been resting while the pandemic has been devastating the country. We have been working hard on ensuring we will still be able to service all parents through the summer to make sure every student arrives at school in September looking smart and ready to learn.
Online Booking System
We have been asked frequently if bookings can be made to get sizing correct for school uniform. So we have felt that this would be a real benefit to help take some of the stress out of the experience. Parents will be able to give us some information prior to arriving and book a time slot. Don’t worry we will be still be serving people without and appointment as well. Please just turn up and we will squeeze you in.
This system is currently being tested and we will let you know as soon as it is live so please follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates.
The Showroom
· We will only be having a single family in the showroom for sizing at a time, 3 family members + staff.
· Social distancing should be observed at all times.
· Before entering you will be asked to sanitise hands and we will do a quick temperature test, safety for our staff and customers is paramount.
· We will see what happens over the next few weeks in terms of the government guidance around masks, but we are happy to wear them if that makes you feel more comfortable, just ask!
· Clothes tried on in the showroom will be steamed before being allowed to be used by another parent
· We have been working tirelessly to pre-embroider 1000’s of garments for as many schools as possible, to ensure parents can take their orders with them and online orders avoid delay. Orders where we do not have the exact size pre-embroidered will take approximately 2 weeks
· The Ecclesbourne School, Belper School and John Flamsteed Community School are fully stocked.
Payments
· We will be moving payments away from the showroom so we can serve the next customer, and ask all but the paying parent to wait outside.
· Cash will no longer be accepted meaning all payment must be made at the time of ordering with a debit or credit card contactless is now £45 and unlimited on mobile phones using Applepay etc
We can’t wait to see everybody J
