"It feels like the staff genuinely would rather be elsewhere - on several occasions that we’ve been in to look at toys and presents, there always seems to be a strange atmosphere of being watched closely whilst looking at items. It feels like taking things down from the shelf to have a closer look isn’t something the staff like to see you doing. Nobody approaches you to offer advice or see if they can help you, staff very much stay behind the counter and let you get on with it. My sister bought a few items in the shop and 2 items broke relatively soon after, she went back to the shop to show the sales assistant with her receipt but the shop assistant just shrugged her shoulders and evidently didn’t care that the items were not of quality. Customer service is basically non existent but if you’re desperate to buy a present or small stocking filler type toys and Niddle Noddle, Waterstones and Jojo are closed, then you have no other choice."

"Cute little toy shop in Crouch End. Always able to find a good gift. Sells clothing too Remember they can only take card for orders over £5.00 Would visit again"

"Great selection of kids toys. I was buying two gifts for upcoming birthdays and the staff were helpful to the point of excellently gift wrapping them when I mentioned the purchases were birthday gifts. I read some poor reviews before going and they certainly don't reflect my experience. Great service and wonderful staff."

"Went into shop to buy a toy. Firstly the ticket price showed £4.50 the v rude shop assistant or owner l am not sure. Told me it was incorrect pricing . It should read £9 50. By law she would have to sell it at the price marked. I think they should close up shop & the worker should find a new job-- perhaps in a mens prison or something like that. Never had such bad customer service. I will not go there again."

"I've only had lovely experiences in here. So helpful. Kids love all the gifts we have bought them from here, from wooden bike, to science stuff. And they've helped me sometimes to find age appropriate gifts for other kids."
