Buttercrane have made a major investment in their services for mothers of young children in collaboration with local early year’s experts in Newry City Sure Start.

Buttercrane consulted with early years experts at Newry City Sure Start and surveyed hundreds of customers to access what was important to young mums and breastfeeding mothers as part of an £100k+ upgrade of their Bathroom facilities and Mother and Baby room.
Centre manager Peter Murray commented: “As a large percentage of our customers are parents and families, we want to provide a comfortable and stress free experience during their visit to Buttercrane. We have invested in our services to provide high quality facilities for mums to feed, change, warm bottles and food for their babies and to entertain siblings while they do so.
“I believe, with the upgrade to both the washrooms and Mother and Baby room we have created facilities of the very highest quality - I’d even suggest, the best to be found in any shopping centre in Ireland.”
Anne Rice Project Manager said she was delighted that she and her colleague Adele Toal were asked to assist with the refurbishment in an advisory role. “Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles we can take on. It is great such a prominent business in the city recognises this and is willing to make an investment and make this role a little bit easier when out and about shopping with young children”
“We are delighted to work with Newry City SureStart in this project to deliver significantly improved services and we’ve been delighted at the feedback of customers since the Mother and Baby room opened last week,” Peter added.
