I bought a few wooden toys for my niece and wow, the quality is actually really nice. They feel solid and not cheap at all. She was sooo excited when she opened them

Cheap plastic arrived broken for…

Cheap plastic arrived broken for Mother’s Day and they would not issue a refund because I didn’t open the box until after the 7 day post delivery window had expired. Trash product and useless support.

Hi Adam,

You're right to be frustrated, and I'm sorry. Our damage policy is 14 days, not 7 — the reply you got was incorrect and you should have been offered a replacement from the first email. That's on us, not you.

Please email me directly at info@montessoritoddlers.com with "Trustpilot — Adam" in the subject and your order number, and I'll personally make sure a replacement goes out straight away. We're also reviewing this with our support team so the next family doesn't get the same answer.

Thank you for the honest feedback — it's how we get better.

— Johan, founder, Montessori Toddlers

Avoid this company

Avoid this company. Terrible customer service. After 3 weeks of waiting for my order, they cancelled it advising that they ‘logistically’ cannot fulfil my order. I suspect fuel prices have affected shipping and now they don’t want to stand by their free shipping.

toddler handprint frame

I purchased the toddler hand print frame

I am extremely disappointed with both the quality of this product and the customer service I have received.
The Perspex arrived with protective film on it, which I did not remove until I was ready to use the product — as most people would. Once removed, it was clear the Perspex was scratched and dented. The outer packaging appeared fine, and there were no instructions or indication that I needed to fully unwrap and inspect every internal piece immediately upon delivery.
If this had been purchased as a gift, it would be completely unacceptable to expect someone to unwrap every internal component just to check for defects beforehand.
When I reached out to customer service, the response showed little understanding or accountability for the issue, which was incredibly frustrating.
It’s also clear from the reviews on your website that I’m not the only customer who has received scratched Perspex — this appears to be an ongoing quality issue.
To be clear, I am not asking for a full replacement kit — only for the damaged inserts to be replaced.
Overall, this experience has been disappointing, and I would not recommend purchasing based on both the product quality and the lack of helpful customer support.

Well-made products

The toys that Montessori make are such great quality! Well-made and age appropriate. They are listed on the website according to the age of the child. It is easy for me, as a grandmother, to see the kinds of tasks that are appropriate for my granddaughter’s age. Their communication is fabulous and very sincere: Letting you know when the item is coming and if you were satisfied. This is a company that you can count on for a positive experience!!

We're sorry to hear you're disappointed. The puzzle is made with child-safe materials designed for toddlers, so it may feel different from what you expected. If there's an actual quality issue with yours, please email us at info@montessoritoddlers.com and we'll have a look.

Like many other customers

Like many other customers, I wish I had read the reviews before I made the purchase. I was also led to believe I was buying from Montessori. After three weeks my order arrived. It was packed in two good quality boxes with Montessori printed on them, unlike the three items I purchased which did not have Montessori mentioned at all. I paid £42 for my order for items that would probably be for sale in the pocket money section of a toy shop for a few pounds!! Extremely disappointed.

Hi Sandra,

I'm really sorry to hear that — I completely understand the disappointment when something doesn't live up to what you expected.

Montessori Toddlers is the name of our brand rather than an official Montessori affiliation, and I can see how that might have been confusing.

I'd love the chance to make this right for you — could you drop us an email at info@montessoritoddlers.com? We'll sort something out.

Terrible delivery

Terrible delivery, ordered some 16 days ago but sill hasn't arrived despite them stating 7-10 days. Emailed them for an explanation and again despite them stating a reply in 24 hours, 48 hours later nothing. Hopefully the product will be better than the customer service... I can only wait.

Really disappointed with the Toddlers…

Really disappointed with the Toddlers Music set. It arrived in a box that was battered and not suitable for gift giving. I do not think the item itself is worth the money I paid - I think it looks and feels like a cheap version of something that could have been special.

Hi Kathleen,

I'm sorry it arrived in that condition — I understand how disappointing that is when you've bought something as a gift.

We've actually just upgraded to sturdier packaging for the Music Set to prevent exactly this. If there's anything else we can help with, please reach out at info@montessoritoddlers.com.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience - still not sure whether this is a legitimate setup. My parcel never arrived (ordered 3 months ago!) and I had to get my money back through the bank as the company said they don't issue refunds. They did respond to all my emails (Charlotte?!) but I just felt I was being fobbed off. Don't go near them!

I ordered a product in a colour then received a different colour. When emailing about this they just said I couldn’t return or swap it. Instead of giving me a full refund or just sending what I ordered they only gave me a “partial refund” 20% which was stuff all of my money back.
It’s actually over priced and the quality isn’t the best anyway. I’d recommend everyone stick to Shein or even Temu.

Poor quality, flimsy and tatty

Easy to order. Delivery updates were good. The frames are very poor quality. Flimsy. Because they are flimsy they were difficult to put up. Had to hang 1 frame landscape because the clip for portrait hanging detached. I had to persevere because my grandchildren were so excited. I would be surprised if they last a fortnight. Told the children they cannot open them because the doors feel unsafe. I do not recommend and really wish I had read reviews before purchasing. Expensive tatty rubbish.

Non-existent customer service - Avoid!

Ordered the microscope on the 7th of December as a Christmas present for my grandson. The quoted delivery time was 7-10 working days (so two weeks - 21st December latest).
It finally turned up on the 29th.
I've emailed twice, asking how to get a refund but have been completely ignored.
Very disappointed. Obviously will never use this company again.

Broken frame came sealed up

I admit I did buy an A4 toddler display frame from Montessori Toddlers at the end of October 2025 as a Christmas present after reading the delivery time was long, so bought early. When it arrived it was packaged up well and sealed, there was no damage to the packaging, so I wrapped the sealed frame up ready for Christmas. Big mistake, when my daughter got round to opening the sealed frame, the cardboard corners were fine, but inside the frame was cracked through. Didn't realise until the frame was opened that it was also cracked through the other side too, so fell apart. Contacted Montessori Toddlers who said that it had been too long for a replacement or any other recompense. I don't think it's normal to open a sealed item when it is a present, but I will from now on. This frame was obviously damaged before packaging was put on it. I'm so disappointed as I didn't buy a cheap one, I went for Montessori thinking it would be good quality. On reflection, I think it is cheap, poor quality and probably shipped from China. I would say, don't buy from them.
UPDATE
Having been told I couldn't have another frame or a refund as it had been too long I told them I would leave an honest review and not recommend them, they have now offered me a full refund.
