They play great music in this store. Old school music that takes me back to my teens and edges me a little closer to being a kid again. The staff are young and chatty though it can feel like you’re interrupting them if you need help. Downstairs are toys for crawlers and pre-schoolers lots of wooden puzzles with expensive, educational qualities. This shop really excels for school age kids though. Upstairs is a trove of board games, puzzles and activities with an emphasis on things that can be done as a family. It’s nice to be reminded that the point of toys is fun, learning and play rather than selling merchandise to the latest TV show or film. They let me put a Playmobil Fire Engine on layby here a good 3 months before Christmas and even wrapped for it for me when I went to collect it. What great little helpers.

‘For a Brighter Child’ is the slogan on their sign outside. I imagine they mean this in more than one way. This fantastic toy store is super bright in colour but also has plenty of toys that double as learning tools. Though there are plenty of plastic bits in the store it didn’t feel as plasticy as other toy shops. The bright red walls, high ceilings, some wooden toys and multiple levels help with this. Kidstuff is packed to the rafters with tops yet it looks very neat and organized — I was there on a weekday and there weren’t any kids in there which probably helps. The staff are energetic and fun but you can still have an adult conversation with them(I’ve found a lot of workers in children related services and stores talk to you like you’re the kid — I guess it’s hard to switch over sometimes).
