Sprout's Space
Our whole first floor, given over to the youngest readers — kids' books, games, puzzles and toys and beanbags to flop on.
Where small readers start
From first touch-and-feel books to the chapter series they can't put down, Sprouts is arranged by age and stage — and there is always somewhere soft to sit and try before you buy.

Sprouts is built for wriggly afternoons. Pull up a painted stool, tip out the toy box, and let the little ones choose their own next favourite — we don't mind a bit of mess.
- Toys & busy tables to keep small hands happy while you browse.
- Read before you buy — a cosy corner to test-drive the next bedtime story.
- Our painted tree — a much-loved mural, complete with a cockatiel on a swing.
