About — Simone’s Playhouse
Toys That Last Longer
Than the Wrapping Paper
We are a small online toy shop run from London. Everything on the shelf is bought from official British distributors, arrives UKCA marked, and comes with instructions and safety warnings in English. Age marking, materials and small-part warnings are printed on every product page, because that is the part parents actually need.
Build & Construct
Blocks, marble runs and bolt-together kits that keep going long after the first afternoon.
Role Play & Craft
Play kitchens, dolls houses, felt and yarn sets for the stage where everything becomes a story.

What Buyers Say About
Simone’s Playhouse
Short notes left with orders. Published without names at the reviewer’s request.
The block crate turned into the only toy that gets used every single day. Good weight, no splinters, and the lid actually shuts.
Ordered Friday, here Tuesday
Packaging was plain recycled card, no plastic, and the age warning was exactly as listed on the site.
Bought as a new baby gift
The knitted bear washed and kept its shape. Gift wrapping was worth the extra couple of pounds.
Clear on small parts
I have a three year old and a baby, so knowing which sets have small pieces before ordering is the whole thing.
Marble run survived a house move
Rebuilt it about forty times since. Still straight, still rolling.
Returned a puzzle that was too young for her and it was refunded within the fortnight, no argument, no forms.
