About BrightSpark Toys

BrightSpark Toys was launched in 2014 on bustling Kingsway with a simple promise—make learning irresistible. Our founders, former educators and child-development specialists, carefully curate toys that inspire exploration, collaboration and joy. Over a decade later, our shelves house more than 1,500 rigorously tested learning tools, each selected for safety, durability and educational impact.

Our mission is to empower young minds through purposeful, sustainable and play-based learning experiences. We believe that when children lead their own discovery, confidence blossoms and knowledge sticks. That belief guides every consultation, every product choice and every community workshop we host in London schools.

  • Child-led Learning—putting curiosity before instructions.
  • Safety First—compliance not just with EN71, but our own stringent in-house drop, bite and scratch tests.
  • Eco Responsibility—78 % recycled packaging, renewable energy-powered store and warehouse.
  • Community Engagement—free Saturday maker sessions and toy-lending library for local nurseries.
