What a lovely place! Michelle, the owner is just amazing. She’s so warm and soft-spoken around the babies and gives sound advise to moms, especially to new moms. I attended the Baby Massage class and the small gestures (mommy quotes and choccies and chai latte) kept me going every week. I’be just started the Tummy time class and she really goes out of her way to make the class themed and fun for babes and moms. Such lovely play areas at the venue and beautiful toys being sold too!

The Play Studio is one of our greatest finds as a parent! We always look forward to visiting and spending time with Michelle who is such a caring, special and gentle person. The peaceful yet engaging environment has allowed my boy to gain so much confidence in his surroundings. Thank you!

Michelle is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Wonderful selection of toys and what really helps are the age appropriate suggestions, especially for grandparents. Toys are excellent quality and affordable. We live in KZN, ordered on a Tuesday and received order via courier on the Thursday. Definitely my go to shop for future gifts!

These educational and sensory toys are fantastic. The quality is great, the service is excellent! I bought these for my school, and our children. Will definitely recommend.

Zanelle Botha

Such cool and fun kits for my three year old to explore her imagination! Would definitely recommend these kits and there are such varieties!

Belinda Coetzee

The Play Studio has played such a crucial role in our lives over the past year, it has given my little one an outlet for his boundless energy, he has learnt so much from all the fun activities and songs and I've met amazing mom's. We absolutely love our weekly playgroup dates! I also really enjoy the flexibility of not having sign up for a term but rather as and when it suits our schedule. Michelle is a gem of a person and is so supportive and willing to lend an ear and advise new moms, really so glad to have found her and the studio!Like
