Run by two parents.
Tested by four kids.
We're Sarah and Tom. We opened Little Star in 2012 on a quiet corner of St Albans because we couldn't find anywhere local that sold the kind of toys we wanted for our own kids — wooden, sturdy, a bit beautiful, and built to be passed down.
Every toy on our shelves has been played with by one of our four. If it doesn't survive a Sunday afternoon in our kitchen, it doesn't make the cut. Pop in for a chat — we love helping you find the right thing.
“Sarah spent twenty minutes helping me pick something for my niece's 4th — no upsell, no rush, just genuinely good advice. The wooden tea set has survived a year of daily use. It's our go-to shop now.”
