Early Learning Centre

This is a great shop for all parents out there. Not a huge shop but the shelves are always full and good quality items are available. Special offers are often on and you can get 3 for 2 on certain items. Kids are able to play with some of the items in store and the staff are lovely, although with all the crying and screaming they must get fed up. Great items available especially for christmas presents and a sale is on at the moment.

The early learning centre is located in the bridges shopping centre. It is a lovely spacious shop with plenty of toys for kids to use both on the shop floor and also to buy. Prices are reasonable for the toys which are available and often ELC has special offers and 3 for 2 on certain items. I like the pre school items which are available the jolly phonics range where you can buy the books, cds and flash cards, these are cheap and will become useful when you child reaches school years. a nice store, nice items at nice prices. Worth a visit.

ELC has to be the best shop around for all your childrens toys they are all a great price they also hold 3 for 2 offers at christmas which is great because every penny counts right. They stock a great range of wooden toys and i would recommend the wooden dolls house they sell it has lasted my daughter a few years and is still like new.
It is also worth looking on there website and register your childrens birthdays and they send you vouchers off gifts and they also send a little present for your child this year my daughter go a pack of animal dominos.

Oh I do love the ELC! I always remember visiting there as a 8-​year old child and playing with the display toys, much to the dismay of the checkout assistants. Haha. Even now as a (ch)adult I can’t resist a quick peek around the store to marvel at all the wonderful goodies and I’m often tempted by some of the offers on retro toys which remind me of my childhood. Last year in the sales I got some great Postman Pat. I probably shouldn’t admit that, should I.
They also sell their own brand toys such as building bricks and other ‘classic’ toys. They are very well made, durable toys and tend to be cheaper than branded items (which they also sell). I definitely recommend them as they’re the sort of timeless toys that can be handed down and enjoyed by younger siblings.
