Granny 'Bought this for when my grandkids visit. It’s robust, colourful and fun. They love playing with it ... and I love that it folds up into a wheeled case that I can easily store away in between visits. Would definitely recommend.' Girlgang88 'Bought this for my water mad daughter’s birthday. It’s absolutely rubbish and boring! Doesn’t do much and is very pricey. Don’t waste your money' Ss 'Bought for a 2year old.

Very good quality.' SKB 'Bought for my grandson. Nice toy. Not expensive. To go with his toy cooker. Not sure he will use the cake stand and that will probably be the first thing to break' Mfs 'My little one loves this. We did add a few extra bits to it to make it a little more fun as just came with 3 small boats so she added some of her little figure people and spent hours playing'

Bef 'Really compact and good quality:) my 18month old enjoyed playing with it. Good range of water play items on it' Smurfette 'This was a gift last Christmas for my granddaughter. My only disappointment was the fact that the tea pot was very small and the top did not stay on when the tea pot was tipped - poor design.'

To reach that score we use information on what customers are saying about the same product from a number of retailers, to create an aggregate score. Larod88 'I didn’t understand how the pump fixed in / works? Nothing is clear in the instructions. Probably best for 1-2 year old? The bits and pieces are very difficult for my daughter to take in and out. It looks as though they can do more with it than they actually can.'Megan13 'I brought this for my 2 year old who loves water. He loves it. And has spent lots of time playing. There is a feature we’re not sure how to use. But does not affect the fun had.' To get the quality score, we’re looking at a number of factors, but typically we’re studying the brand of the product, the warranty included and basing it on what customers have to say about the quality. RT 'It’s not what I expected from the advertised product. Quality isn’t great and it didn’t hold interest for long.'

Lil 'I brought this gift for my 18 month old and didnt realise it had a age recommended for 3 years plus so I doubled it up for my eldest daughter who is 3 however, my 18 month 9ld also loves this gift and plays with it very well in role play making my cups of tea all day!'
