Our story
Toys & Learning was born in 2007, in the heart of beautiful Norfolk. We started life as an educational toy shop, selling products that were geared towards teaching and learning. Over time, however, our youngest customers taught us a lesson of their own: the toys that provide the best learning experiences are always the ones that were designed, first and foremost, for fun and enjoyment!
Hence our turnaround: we now specialise in products by Schleich and Papo, two of the world’s most famous model makers. Working closely with these companies allows us to provide
a) brilliant customer service and
b) major savings – which we do our very best to pass on to our customers, with some of the lowest prices in the UK. Two decades on, we’re one of the country’s leading Schleich and Papo suppliers. But we still have a local-toy-store ethos – a passion for great products, from experts you can trust.

. . . and never stop blowing bubbles

Toys&Learning
We love Schleich and Papo because they’re brilliant at encouraging children to engage with the wider world by freeing their imaginations. This picture encapsulates that rather nicely! We’ve been using it on our website for years. We keep it as a reminder that we’re about helping happy children to widen their horizons.

What’s so special about Schleich?

If you’ve ever bought a Schleich toy before, you probably know the answer to this already. If not, you’re in for a genuine treat. Schleich models – which were created in Germany in 1935 – are famous for their realism and almost forensic attention to detail. This is partly down to how they’re developed in the design studio, with intricate prototypes (initially made from wax) drawn from photographs of real-life people and creatures. But it also has a lot to do with the finishing. Though millions of models are sold around the world, every single one is hand painted by a human being before it heads for the shop shelves. It can take up to eight weeks to bring a new design from concept to modelling. The result, though, is something that feels just right. In an era where so many companies cut corners to hike profits, Schleich toys feel like something from another age.

Hi just a quick email to let you know I have received my parcel and I'm over the moon . Thankyou for your help and prompt responses to my concerns and emails. Much appreciated.
Katrina Marr.

I am so sorry to have troubled you! When I saw the Schleich box with the wrong label on it I did not want to open it as it was going to be sent back. I didn't realise that there was another Schleich box inside with the correct item present. Everything is fine and your service has been extremely good! 
Simon Bold

Just received my order of Schleich items. So thrilled with them. Delivery was really quick and the order was packed beautifully. Definitely recommend this first class shop. Will be buying from them again. Thank you
Debbie Jones

Hi, I wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of your Papo products especially my daughter. We’ve been a long time buyer and can’t imagine buying anything else. I know a lot of people probably email to complain and it can be tough responding to those, so I thought I’d email something positive. You’re doing great work and it’s appreciated in our family home and I wanted to say thanks.Thank you and I hope you have a great day!
Destiny

Hi Susan,
Just a quick email to say thank you so much for our most recent order. Delivery was super quick and everything arrived in perfect condition. We have so many Schleich’s and I’m so happy I found your company.
Thanks
Viky

Dear Susan,
I just wanted to thank you for your speedy delivery of the product I ordered. I had first ordered this item from a very large and well known online shopping service, days before. They let me down and couldn't deliver it until August. This prompted me to search and find Toys and Learning.
You were able to deliver Fairy Feya Pegasus Unicorn two days before my daughters 7th birthday. Not only that but you have packaged the item with great care, included a catalogue and kept me updated with each step of the delivery. Fantastic, and excellent service!
Many thanks
Carl Fielding

I just spoke with you on the phone, regarding leaving a review .

Very quick delivery , I was very impressed how quickly the items arrived .  I will definitely be recommending you to my friends .
My daughter loves the horse Schleich range, I will be ordering from you all the time now.
Thank you again
Mrs Thompson

Hi
Just wanted to say thank you for the Delivery of our recent order, excellent service.  Due to including a Schleich catalogue in the order my son is obsessed with animals and dinosaurs and has carried that catalogue around with him ever since! We are now looking to order a few of the Dino sets and animals shortly.
Christopher Kemp 

Dear Susan, 
I just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for fulfilling my recent orders. I realise businesses are currently facing extra challenges. Thanks to you I managed to give my daughter every one of her birthday wishes (she has a schleich addiction) and make her day. 
Your prices are unbeaten and delivery is a very reliable next day delivery and I am very grateful you were open for business. 
Thank you very much and kind regards
