The toy library enabled us to delete Youtube. My 5 year old was becoming addicted to watching Youtube on TV so we came and got lots of Lego out and then deleted the app. My son played with the Lego before and after school instead of watching TV and everyone is happier and calm and his behaviour has improved.

My daughter and I love this playgroup. She gets to play with a different selection of toys each time, everything is clean and well cared for. The snacks are healthy and varied and the tea, coffee and a friendly face/kind ear for parents/carers is very much appreciated. We always feel welcomed and supported and my daughter has made some lovely friends.

 We adore the toy library as my little ones get to choose new toys every month so don’t get bored of the same ones. It’s a huge cost and plastic saving too, so everyone’s a winner. The team are always so helpful with choosing if I can’t see the wood for the tree with the huge selection!

A fantastic service, lovely staff and just a great idea! The toy library is such  treasure trove and little ones love trying out fun new toys every month and it means he never gets bored. Plus we have much less clutter in the house now. Feels like an environmentally friendly, community approach and the toys are well looked after and enjoyed by lots of different children which is a lovely feeling.

 What a fantastic idea, as a mother of two the money we've saved is incredible. As there is a big range of toys it's meant the kids have tried toys we wouldn't ordinarily buy risk free. 

The playgroup is really sweet with a further chance to play with the toys and have a chat. Both my children have really enjoyed going. The fact that its free and the kids get a snack is a bonus.

 When our highchair broke unexpectedly I was so grateful to find out that BELS offered a Baby Equipment Loan Service. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and were able to provide a highchair in perfect condition for a minimal price. I would highly recommend this service - it was a cost-effective option during the financially stretched time that maternity leave can be.
