Great shop with clearly marked age and skill indicators for the products they sell targeted to the discerning pre-toddler, toddler or small one. I also like the fact that on their website you can set... See more

Missing piece

Bought a game and there was a piece missing. Emailed ELC with pictures and receipt. Had a new game sent to me a few days later. Very satisfied.

Brilliant customer service

Ordered a item online, charged but no confirmation email, product still in my online basket. No product arrived. Contacted the early learning center the matter was rectified quickly and a refund issued with 24hrs. Although the initial experience was poor when purchasing my product the customer service was brilliant.

Placed an online order 2 weeks ago

Placed an online order 2 weeks ago, got an email confirmation of my order that day and didn't hear anything else after that. Contacted ELC today to see what was taking my order so long and they said oh it was returned to us a week ago becuase the packaging was damaged!!! When was I going to be made aware of this??? No order repackaged and sent out, no refund, no email updating me of this... Asked for my order to be sent back out again only to be told that a number of my items were now out of stock!! What happened to my items that were returned, why were they not sent back out to me?? And to top it all off they have just stopped communicating with me, so don't know if I'm getting the rest of my order or getting refunded.. Will not be ordering anything from ELC again, customer service is a joke !!

Amber was a great help

Amber was a great help. She managed to sort out my order for me and get the promotion added to my order which I wasn’t able to do due to the website going down.

I wanted to return items I purchased online, for collection, however, I changed my mind the next day I went on the live chat thinking that It would have taken a very long time, but within a minute an agent named Charlie came on the live chat and then he resolved my issue within 2 minutes, pretty fast I have waited longer!
