Owner/Director/Professional Shoe Fitter


Hi I'm Rachel, mum to 2 amazing boys and owner of Pitter Pitter Kids. Shoes have been an enjoyment of mine since childhood, my mum's influence I believe. She had the most gorgeous shoe collection and would always take care buying shoes for me. I have many memories from a young age of visiting our local children's shoe shop to have my feet measured professionally and choose nice shoes. It is these happy occasions that have made a strong desire for a children's shoe shop of my own someday. This idea was a dream I never expected to come true. I absolutely love Pitter Patter Kids and its fundamental ethos which is to fit shoes to the individual child since no footprint is the same! My hope is to give children extra special, happy memories of their shoe shopping experiences, just as I have of mine.

Website Manager/Shop Assistant/Professional Shoe Fitter

Hi, I'm Stacey, and I joined the Pitter Patter Kids family in June 2021. Prior to this I worked for a large shoe retailer and have over 3 years experience. The most enjoyable part of the job for me is getting the opportunity to get to know all our lovely customers and their families, providing our first shoe experience and being part of such a special milestone is a particular favourite of mine! In my spare time I enjoy dining out, reading and countryside walks. My favourite brand we stock here at PPK is Bobux, I love how the sole unit is developed to replicate children's feet through different stages of their development and the softness and quality of the leathers used in their wonderful collections. I look forward to meeting you all very soon! X

Hi, I'm Gill and I have worked at Pitter Patter for over 23 years providing what I hope is a professional service in a relaxing and friendly environment. I have had the privilege  of getting to know lots of customers over the years, often fitting their children's first shoes all the way through to their teenage years. I love helping them find their perfect pair. What a great job!
