   I recently borrowed toys for my baby from this toy library, and I couldn’t be happier! My little one absolutely loved the toys, especially the colorful doll and interactive playthings. The collection is fantastic—there’s a variety of toys to engage, educate, and entertain little ones. The toys are clean, safe, and age-appropriate, which gave me peace of mind. It’s such a joy to see my baby happy and engaged while exploring new toys without cluttering the house. Highly recommend this toy library to all parents! It’s a great way to provide variety and keep kids excited without constantly buying new toys.

   An absolute gem of a place. So many toys to choose from, really easy to join, make appointments and renew. It's a bit tricky to search the site if you're looking for a specific toy, and sometimes the stock information isn't up to date. It would also be helpful if you could "reserve" a toy, although I completely understand that this would add a lot of complexity. There are toys suitable from birth, I signed up when my baby was about 4 months old and found lots of choice for all ages. The team are all lovely and helpful, and also super understanding and flexible if you need to change or reschedule appointments.

   I've been bringing my son here since he was tiny, and he has always loved it. Great selection from board games to dress up costumes. To all the staff, trustees and volunteers - keep up the good work! You're providing a great service for the area and it exceptional value for money. Ignore the petty reviews. I'm sure most members really appreciate what you do!

   Fantastic idea and incredibly useful for those with young children. Lots of toys and games to choose from (including scooters!) I appreciate the booked appointment times as it means the toy library is not too chaotic or overcrowded. It does mean I need to be organised about booking appointments but that's easy enough as the booking system is very straightforward! The toys are always in good condition. Really amazing and very glad to use it. Probably brilliant for the environment too!

   Such a useful place for anyone with kids under 8-ish. Subscription is cheap and you can borrow loads and loads of toys. Highly recommended, we've saved so much money (and aggro!) over the years with our daughter trying out toys here instead of her nagging us to buy them for her.

   A truly excellent idea that saves money, space in our home and more plastic waste going to landfill! It’s always a pleasure chatting to Magdalena when we visit!

   The owner Magdalena is super friendly and passionate about what she does and I can't fault the toy Library when it comes to making our daughter smile every time we go there There was a situation during the end of covid.that my wife was spoken to maybe inappropriately by a volunteer but it seems to have been actioned and rectified. They have a great selection of toys that we keep on rotating as our daughter gets older.
