The delivery driver was great and very accommodating. However, we ordered an Early Years drawer unit. One of the drawers broke within 10 minutes of it being in the room. The children were not rough... See more

The resources aren't too expensive and it was an easy transaction.
The paper for the large tuff spot/tray is thick so it won't rip easily

Kept kids (aged 2-8yrs) busy

After looking in many places for a reasonably priced large box of wooden train set I finally found this one on Early Years Resources.
Ordered the Bigjigs transport train set for my nephews and niece. At first I was hesitant to order (as I always am when going on sites that are new to me) however after ordering, I received an email with my order being dispatched which included the order notes, this email came a few days later. The only thing that wasn’t followed through was the name on delivery was supposed to be different to my name.

The quality of the product is excellent. There are a few pieces that needs to be screwed together, I wasn’t aware of this otherwise would have sorted that out before I gifted it. The kids have enjoyed playing with it and my almost 3 year old nephews reaction upon opening it “ I love it” twice. Both the older boys (aged 7 & 8) had a lovely time building the tracks and playing with it. Kept them busy for almost an hour.

I would definitely recommend buying from here as it’s perfectly priced, great quality and rather quick to dispatch and delivery.

So pleased with this down syndrome doll…

So pleased with this down syndrome doll I purchased for my great granddaughter. It is really well made, sturdy yet flexible with arm and leg movement. So cute and the touch of a tiny pony tail in a band is just how my granddaughter did her daughters hair. I am sure my great granddaughter will love her new doll when I send it to her for Christmas.
Thank you so much

Exceeded all expectations

Ordered a classroom rug after scouring the websites and trust pilot! Decided to go with eye as the price was cheaper than others - was sceptical as the price was £100 cheaper than a tried and tested site. Rug arrived in less than 2 weeks, extremely satisfied with quality, thickness, grip - overjoyed will definately be buying from them again! Thanks!

Always a bit hesitant about ordering from here as previous orders have taken ages to arrive, decided to go ahead this time as there wasn't anything I was desperate for. I was delighted that things seem to be improving, order arrived complete within days. Hopefully this is the norm now.
