Advantages: Almost free, Popular toys

Disadvantages: Situated in w12 area , The only one of its kind

Not many people can afford to buy expencive toys for their children. And if they can, it is obviouse that not all toys can keep a child "busy" for a long time.

So parents in my area came across with the idea to make a Toy library.
Now people can get lovely toys for just 2 pounds a year membership fees+ 0,25p per toy you are borrowing for two weeks.

Toys are all new - dolls+ acsesories, buggies, table games, cars, baby toys, big slides etc. For ages 0- 7 years.

As well as borowing the toys, you can also just come and play with your children absolutely free, meet other parents and all of this in a very friendly enviroment.

Now the Toy library is almost two years old, gets support from the goverment and local church (which helps with rent) and very popular between local parents.

This is the perfect example of how some ideas can work. Wish there will be more of the places like this. I recently moved and now it is quite far for me to go there. But I glad that lots of people enjoying the opportunity to please their little ones with long wanted toy.
