Service is good but the tills are a bit slow but they can be because your kids wont leave until you have got them something.

This is a proper toyshop. It's been here forever (well as long as I can remember and that's quite a…read morewhile!!!) It has a good selection of every kind of children toy, and is good for games and puzzles and has new toys in. It's not about old fashioned nostalgia toys, it is modern stuff, with a few of each toy, but the range is good with probably as much to chose form in this smallish shop as many of the much bigger stores which just stack up dozens of the same thing. I'm sure any child would find something to suit in here.

There were many photo opportunities and lots of demonstrations as well. The sales people worked for the store and there was no pressure at all. We were there a little under an hour and discovered many new items. Our kids really enjoyed the lego and Wicked themed areas. There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

I think Toys r Us is amazing and this is my favourite branch - barely a week goes by without us…read morevisiting. Toys R Us's are all very similar to look at, and have the same layout. They always have plenty of stock, and lots of special offers. The Basingstoke branch doesn't have a toilet and baby changing facility, which is worth knowing as most branches have, but thats the only downside. Staff will go out of their way to help you. If what you want isn't on the shelves, they will go and check the warehouse: and last year when everywhere was sold out of pink DS Lites they weren't allowed to reserve stock for people but would call you as soon as the item came into stock.

Trek for me, stars for some…read more Yep, its Christmas again and I have kids who demand (actually, they ask pretty nicely and write letters to Santa etc) So, its off for a visit to ToysRUs who have everything don't they? Well, they've quite a lot (if you crane your neck to look up as well as down) and the prices are pretty competitive. If only it wasn't so bright, garish, there was an opportunity to rest your feet (the store's pretty big). Anyway, I still exited lighter of wallet, lighter of heart (got what I was looking for) and pleased that I, a father who has precious little time to go to real shops, managed to contribute to my little ones happiness.

Lordy, I think I have just found the perfect contraceptive…read more This colossal toy store in Hove is the size of a small village. I was lucky enough to go when it wasn't too busy, but boy it's still quite overwhelming. I was only looking for a toy bow and arrow to accompany a fancy dress outfit but it was impossible to find anything here. I looked around for a member of staff for help but couldn't find one, i walked around the entire store twice but still couldn't find one, I looked and I looked...not one member of staff! Eventually I had to queue at the cash desk to speak to the singular staff member...only to be told they don't sell bows and arrows. I couldn't get out of this store quick enough - although that's easier said than done as there is only one exit that you eventually find once you have been channeled around the side of the shop. As I said, it's enough to put you off having children!
