Welcome to Glapney – Safe, Educational Toys for Growing Minds
At Glapney, we provide carefully selected toys and products designed to support your child's development from their very first steps. Based in Towcester, Northamptonshire, we are a UK retailer specialising in wooden educational toys, foldable play mats, and baby walkers from trusted brands.
Our Story
Glapney was founded by Joshua Parker, a Northamptonshire-based entrepreneur who has been running businesses in the UK since 2013 through his company, Architectural Glazing Parts Limited (Company Number 08516705). After becoming a parent himself, Joshua saw an opportunity to bring high-quality, developmental toys to UK families at fair prices — and Glapney was born.
While our parent company has roots in the construction industry, Glapney represents a new direction: curating safe, educational products for babies and toddlers. We work directly with established brands such as Bigjigs Toys, AIYAPLAY, and Living and Home to bring you products that meet the highest safety and quality standards.
What We Sell
Our current collection focuses on three core categories:
Shape Sorting Toys — Wooden shape sorters, stacking puzzles, busy boxes, and peg boards designed to develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities in toddlers.
Foldable Play Mats — Double-sided, reversible baby crawling mats in fun themes including dinosaurs, animals, and space. Made from non-toxic, soft materials that are safe for tummy time and early exploration.
Push Walkers & Activity Centres — Multi-functional baby walkers with music, toys, and activity tables that support your child's first steps while keeping them entertained and engaged.
All of our products are sourced from reputable manufacturers, comply with applicable UK and EU safety standards including CE marking and EN 71, and are suitable for babies and toddlers as specified on each product listing.
Our Values
Safety First — Every product we stock complies with applicable toy safety regulations. We only work with brands that prioritise child safety and provide proper age recommendations, warnings, and safety certifications.
Honest Pricing — Our prices are displayed in GBP, include UK VAT, and include free standard delivery to all UK addresses. The price you see is the price you pay — no hidden charges at checkout.
Straightforward Service — We offer a 30-day return policy, responsive customer support by email and phone, and order tracking on every shipment. If something is not right, we will make it right.
