Toys ‘R’ Us

Parking and shop itself were fine, got to the checkout and then the problems, only one checkout was open, surely Saturday lunchtime is a peak time? The pleasant but slow checkout lady tried her best to sell strong bags to the customer and offered a ‘We can build your toy for an additional £2.99 ‘without any sense of urgency. Eventually with 8 people in the queue I gave up and bought an equivalent item at a shop in the outlet. Shocking management skills or company staff cutbacks who knows, shan’t return !

This place is great fun for kids, not so good for their parents. There are toys everywhere, as you’d expect, and you can easily spend an hour in there looking at stuff.
Their normal prices are a bit inflated, but they do often have half-​price offers which bring them back down to earth a bit. Their stock control isn’t the greatest and you often find empty spaces on shelves, or the wrong thing in the wrong place, and there are always loads of items without prices.
Babies R Us is what they now call the section with cots, prams etc, but it’s in the same store. They’re also a bit pricey, but they do have some things that you can’t find elsewhere.
Often a big queue at the checkouts as they don’t seem to like opening more than one at a time, and there’s often a smell of dirty nappy as well. And no, that’s not my kid making it!

Not a bad toy and equipment shop for babies and children. it caters for children of all ages including computers and games consoles for older children. All the stores are set out in exactly the same way but this one does seem larger than some of the others. The goods are reasonably priced but they tend not to have very big offers on that can be found in other stores (department stores or supermarkets).

I’ve lived in several parts of the country, and I’d say that compared to others this is a fairly small Toys R Us. It’s not bad — there’s definitely something there to keep just about any kid amused for a few hours, but if you’re a toy shop connoisseur then you may be a little disappointed.
I’ve found that there are quite a lot of missing prices, items out of stock, messy displays etc, but you do tend to find that in most branches. There’s the obligatory eau-​de-​nappy scent if you go anywhere near the toilets, but you get that anywhere with kids so can’t fault it too much.
On the whole, it’s worth a visit — kids love it, parents love to spoil their kids. It’s right next to KFC, McDs and Pizza Hut, plus the Yorkshire Outlet (Lakeside as its now known) so there’s plenty for everyone else too.

This is a good sized Toys r us store at the lakeside shopping outlet.
They offer a large selection of toys, multimedia, games, party items and babies r us has a good selection on nursery items and equipment.
Staff are very friendly, help to order items if needed and seem to know about their products.
highly recommended, but be warned, they have so many products that you often feel that you have to have so it can often cost you a lot more than intended.

I could spend all day in this shop, Its so much easier than finding a parking place in town, it has everything you could possible bye for your children for christmas weather they are a baby right up to teenagers, all under the one roof, They always have all the lastest gadgets, computers/​games ect, and it has nice wide iles so you dont get that clostrophobic feeling you do in some shops especially at busy times,
there is always plenty of staff around to advise you, or demonstrate items for you, they are also excellent at letting you return unwanted christmas presents often even without the receipt they will let you have an exchange
