There are Toy Stores and then there are CHILD FRIENDLY Toy stores like this! Very good prices,…read morefrustratedly huge stock (so many choices and so little money) kindly staff helming an inviting store with a dozen small rooms of various toys. Loads of wooden toys and scientific games plus standbys like Elmer and Kidorable wellies/Macs. Kids can enjoy themselves here but buggies have to stay outside. Thankfully, as this is the Costwolds, it won't get nicked. Many toys are very inexpensive and with only about 45. I walked away with a huge haul of books, wooden toys, wellies and even plates and silverware.

This is one of the best toy storees I have been to, the advert is so right millions of toys all…read moreunder one rooff, but they also sell cot, nappies, everything you will need for a new baby. Staff are happy, always helpful, Which is what you need when you go into a toy shop with kids wanting everything hahaa Shelffs are usually full of the item but if not can easily be ordered in. There are always deals throughout the store and you can pick up a bargain, specially before Christmass happy shopping!

I love this toys r us!! After dragging the kids round the rest of the shops for ages taking them…read morehere for a run around and look at the huge selection of toys always cheers them up! The only problem I ever have when we visit here is trying to convince the kids to leave, oh and there was the time my little sister got jammed in a ride on car and 3 members of staff ahd to help get her out lol but they were very nice about it!!

Have bought numerous present from here for stocking filler in years gone by. Just cant go wrong by buying someone of any age something from here. Located in leamington its very close to coventry and quick to get to. The shop is pretty much a try before you buy kind of place with most of the goods on show out for you to play with.

Lots of playful items in here! Its like everything a kid can dream of! Oh and any adult, lol…read moreToys and items out for you to play withand try. Has so much stuff in here, great for stocking fillers for christmas, or for birthdays. Or because you just fancy a little bit of fun! Its not expensive either so you can pick up quite a bsaket full for not a lot! They have really cheap little things but then also some more expensive items. I dont htink anything in the store goes abov £30

I have bought things from Toys R Us with their online service three times…read more The first time one of the items which was a remote controlled boad did not work, but I managed to open it and repair with a soldering iron. Fine for me but I think less technical people would have had a problem The second time the item came they were fine. The third the item not work and returning them was a joke. They basically are a model for when an old school retail company goes online and does not understand software like the modern ecommerce firms do. I order loads of stuff online and none of the other firms have been so useless with returns. You have to email, it takes 12 hours to get a response, there is no online interface with a button to organise returning items like with proper ecommerce companies. so have to email, giving them two working days notice. first time courier did not come, so had to contact them. Then the second time they actually turned up. Then 2 weeks after them taking back the package, the refund was not on my card. Each time I had to contact them, explain things and it was a couple of emails, all in all taking up about 1.5 hours of my time! Each time I had to notice or nothing would happen, they never emailed me to confirm anything, so I had to check. They were polite by email, otherwise it would have been a much worse experience. They do have some good toys that are not available elsewhere, but due to how hard returns have been for me, if they are available elsewhere I would buy them from those other places.

If you can't find what you want in here then you probably won't find it anywhere!! From board games…read moreto cots you name it they will sell it ( as long as its to do with kids ), they always have very good offers on their toys throughout the year. The layout of the store is great with good deals at the end of each isle - a must for us big kids as well as the small ones!!

If this is the place i am thinking of it has a huge museum display of bears as well as retail…read moresales. There always used to be an 8 foot bear outside the shop which we all used to touch so I am sure that it is very grubby by now! I also remeber it seeming a bit pricey but the overheads must be massive. Due to the central location very close to the thatre this is something that kids of a certain age shold really enjoy - especially on a rainy day but don't make it your primary destination as it is only a 15 minute distraction

When buying toys this is a must! This Toys R US is big with plenty of choice for all ages. From…read morebikes, to cots - all toys and computer games. I managed to buy gifts for most of the kids in our family and they range from 1 to 7. There was lots of creative gifts like designing your own bag or mug - the kids loved there pressies.

It is located at the city centre, but not actually in the shopping centre, but within walking distance. There is also plenty of parking outside. It is a very big store, which stock all that you would expect it to, including toys, electrical and bikes. The staff are friendly and will help you find what you want. They are also open long hours, especially around Christmas time. Worth a visit if you are in the area, but perhaps leave your kids at home, because they'll find so many things they want!

Easy to get a twin buggy around now! Also had some fantastic special offers in the store! Will be back very soon. Oh and must just say the staff were so helpful. Proud to call this my local toyshop!

Hamlins toy shop used to be located on the High Street but moved to Lower Kings Road a few years…read moreago, I presume to take advantage of the larger premises. The shop is always well stocked with a variety of childrens toys, including some you are unlikely to find in many supermarkets. Reasonably priced, this would be the ideal place to purchase a child's Christmas present. How the shop survives the rest of the year I do not know, but it always seems to be fairly bustling, so I suggest combining a visit with a trip to Waitrose or something. It's not worth heading in to town for a visit alone, but be sure to bear it in mind.

Owned by the Salt & Pepper chain, No 37, situated at the heart of Monmouth's main shopping centre,…read moreis a colourful and welcoming toy shop. Both members of staff greeted me when I went in and offered help if I needed it. With a range of soft toys, puzzles, puppets, games, books etc. aimed at younger children, the products on offer would be a child's dream. Even I nearly bought something, and I have no children! A great place to buy your favourite toddler a present.

This is a curious little shop - which advertises itself as a toy shop, but my eyes spied much more…read moreinteresting items in the shape of sewing paraphernalia adorning the entranceway! Yarn, needles, a few craft items are stocked here - but underneath you'll find a selection of vintage sewing and craft books for sale. I browsed this gleefully whilst my friend went and perved on the collectible toys at the back of the shop, and although I didn't buy any (I have a mild obsession with vintage craft books - and am trying desperately to wean myself off!) I was tempted by a couple, and may yet pop back in the hopes they're still there so I can get them as a present for my sew-a-holic mother. Good work, weird toy shop!

Indoor shopping malls/markets on local high streets are the best, you just never know what's going…read moreto be inside and what gems you may find. The shops inside the Plaza Mall are a bit odd as many shop units have two shops in one. Blue Crystal Collectables is no exception. To get to the toy fun you have to first navigate a tiny sewing shop, the juxtaposition of the two together is very odd when it's a sea of pastels and beige to a back drop of dark horror toy type fun. A lot of what they have on offer can be seen through the windows on the sides of the booth. If you are a toy geek missing that one toy from 10years ago but don't want to pay ebay prices then you may well find it here. The stock ranged from old 90's reboot Captain Scarlett toys to Buffy to Living Dead Dolls and the Masters of Horror toy line. Nothing was excessively priced but you did wonder where they found this diverse range of toys from and what car boots they were going to to stock their shelves. If anyone knows then let me know cause I want to go there now.
