Why join

Parents want to buy well. The Good Play Guide badge tells them a toy has been tested by experts and real families. Put that trust to work in your shop.

Be found by local families

Your shop appears in the "find your local Good Play Guide retailer" directory, searchable by postcode. Turn online searches into footfall.

Sell with credibility

Point-of-sale badges, shelf edge labels and window decals mark out accredited toys, so the expert seal of approval does some of the selling for you.

Know what is worth stocking

Download the full accredited toy list, organised by brand. Use it as a buying guide, and to flag the accredited stock you already hold.

Built for independents

Independent toy shops are where great play advice lives. You know your customers, and you curate with care. The Good Play Guide gives that expertise a recognised, evidence-based seal families can trust.

We want the badge in shop windows on every high street, not just online.

In partnership with Toymaster. Toymaster members can self-certify and champion accredited toys as part of the programme. If you are a member, join below and note your membership number when you sign up.
