We've been buying from GLT for years, products are always very good quality and easy to put together. Toys are innovative, beautifully finished and last really well. Always my number one destination for birthday and Christmas shopping for kids.

We love shopping with GLTC - products are beautiful and our girls love playing with them. Delivery is always quick and simple and have found the customer service great too

We have several GLTC toys, which we’ve enjoyed since my little boy was a baby. Our favourites are the shop & lovely accompanying wooden foods. We’ve had hours of endless play with the post office and coffee shop & my son loves playing shop keepers with his wooden till. My favourite shop when it comes to durable, child friendly toys!

My little girl absolutely adores her wooden play kitchen. It’s such a lovely design and great for role play. We have the wooden chopping vegetables and fruit which is great for learning new skills. My little one loves cutting them and saying ‘chop.’ Beautifully created toys that are made to last, perfect for little ones and adored by parents too!

We absolutely love our Great Little Trading Co. products. The kids play with the wooden post office toy every day and love snuggling reading books in the play tent. Amazing products, great quality and such a variety to choose from.

We got our toddler tower from Great Little Trading company and it’s been a lifesaver for food prepping with our toddler! He loves it and it’s stylish enough to actually look lovely in our kitchen too, the chalk board is a fun touch as well! Highly recommend

Fantastic customer service as always and the best made and quality toys and furniture we’ve had for the children. We’ve had the beanbags which are super comfy big and beautifully coloured, the play kitchen which has been incredible for imaginative play and the play market - fabulous for little ones wanting to role play. Would 100% recommended

Ordered on the 22nd jan and still not here, a tiny item, excuses and no further response. Used to be a good company, many previous purchases. Now terrible!

Sadly a bad experience as I really wanted it to be good.
My parcel was delivered to the wrong address and no refund has been made. Delivery photo clearly shows a completely different property with a different house number. Driver also forged my husbands signature with is fraud. No refund from great little trading company.

I don’t often write reviews but wanted to highlight the great service I’ve just received from GLTC. When my daughter’s bed broke recently, I realised it was still under warranty and so contacted customer service - they couldn’t have been more helpful. They immediately offered to send replacement parts, which they did at speed enabling me to fix the bed within a week of it breaking. My daughter loves her Star Bright bed and now she can sleep in it again. Thanks GLTC, very much appreciated!

I contacted GLTC Customer Service for teepee assembly steps, and Sally got back to me right away with friendly, useful help. Excellent customer care. Thanks, Sally and GLTC!

*Update 2*
Despite promising me an update last Thursday 29 January, GLTC are now ignoring me, including my requests that either a new order ship or they issue me a full refund.
The item has still not moved in the tracking since last Monday (a week ago) and the courier also refuse to engage with me as I'm not the retailer, so I can only assume it's been lost. 3.5 weeks wasted and nowhere to store our baby's clothes before he arrives next week. Utterly appalling customer service all round. I have now been left with no choice but to initiate a chargeback claim with my credit card provider. Zero stars should be given.
*Update 1*
Knocking another star off as it's been over 3 weeks since I ordered and 5 days since GLTC's chosen delivery partner received the item. In that time it hasn't moved from the "collection depot" and GLTC have just shrugged their shoulders and said it's no longer their problem. The biggest joke is the item I ordered is now back on sale and saying delivery within 5 days.
My first baby hasn't even arrived yet and they've already lost me as a customer. If you read this review, no I would not recommend the stress and hassle of purchasing from them. I will be spreading the word far and wide via my mums network. Sick to death of retailers thinking they can treat customers like this, especially during the already stressful time of preparing for baby.
...
3 weeks and still waiting for my item. Updates have been non-existent. Will update if I ever receive the item. Not impressed at all with the communication or service from GLTC.

I ordered a lot of items from great little trading company, some of which were for my daughter’s birthday. I didn’t hear from them for 16 days and when I did it was to tell me an item they let me order was actually out of stock and they didn’t know when it would be back. This is extremely poor customer service, I have now missed my daughters birthday and I am still yet to receive the rest of my order. Do not order from this company!

My furniture order took over 3 weeks to arrive and when it did there was damage on some parts of the cabinet. It’s a shame as we’ve bought some lovely toys and storage baskets from here before and really like their products. I’m not sure what’s going on with them at the moment but it’s put me off buying any larger items from them again.
