To coincide with the start of work, Morgan Sindall staff visited nearby Bickleigh Down CofE Primary School to give a presentation to pupils about the importance of staying safe around building sites.
During the visit, pupils met "Ivor Goodsite", the mascot of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, who helped warn them about the dangers building sites can present.
Children drew pictures of the character, with the best entries receiving a prize.
Carl Heslop, area manager for Morgan Sindall, said: "This new retail centre will bring a great selection of shops and amenities to the community, and we're delighted to have started work on it.
"Delivering construction projects in busy areas is always a challenge, but one we have experience in delivering.
"We pride ourselves on making sure we minimise disruption to the area, and are working closely with businesses to that end."
The shopping area is being built next to the Lidl store in Woolwell.
James Mitchell, property director for Lidl, said: "Lidl would like to take the opportunity to make clear to customers that the store is unaffected by the neighbouring construction work and is open for business as usual."

“This work started weeks ago, when the pic was taken. The site is now boarded, and the foundations are done. So much for the Herald provding NEWS, rather than history”
