Gorgie Dalry Toy Library

Thanks to Bob our resident master train set builder 🚂 😊

Thank you to all our members 😁 Enjoying our singing session today (photo obtained with all parents/guardians permission).

Hi folks happy Monday,
Here are a few of our dress up outfits in our toy library. They might be great as Halloween costumes for your little ones.

Happy Monday folks,

As of this new term we have changed our membership fees for our Toy Library. New memberships will cost £10 per year or £5 for six months and there will be no charge weekly for the loan of toys :D We have found that this will be easier for our members as you will not need money every second week when borrowing toys. We unfortunately do not have a card reader so if you could bring cash for new memberships that would be perfect 👌 This applies to our current members also you will now not be charged any fees every second week until your current membership runs out. Our toddlers groups is still free and open to all babies and toddlers with parent(s)/guardian(s).

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Good morning all. Today is our fist day back after the summer break. If you are wondering where to bring your little one, come through. The cars are waiting. See you.

Monday 10-11.30am.

Good morning, we are ready for your visit this morning.

A reminder that this would be our last session before the summer break and we will return on Monday 4th September. Any toy rented today, you could keep it over the summer until we reopen for no extra charge.

We hope to see as many of you today.

It has been a busy morning, could tell from the heavy traffic 😊.

We hope to see many of you again next Monday. Have a good week ahead.

Hi all, this is to confirm that we are open on next Monday 08/05. We look forward to having you for a fun morning 10-11.30am.

Just to confirm that we are open tomorrow 01/05 Monday as usual. Looking forward to having you and your little ones. 🌼

Hi all, we had our first session last Monday after the break due to building work. It was a great session with good turn out. Glad to see the return of many smiley little faces.

We have a returned toy below and if your little one is a pirate enthusiast, do come and check it out.

We look forward to see more of you on the coming Monday from 10-11.30am, Ah Hoy! 🏴‍☠️

We are very excited that we would meet soon. A reminder that we are reopening on Monday 17 May at 10-11.30am. See ya!

We are finally able to confirm reopening on the 17/04 Monday 10-11.30am. We hope to see many of you after the long break. Meanwhile wishing you a good spring holiday 🌷🌺🌼and a great Easter ahead. 🐣🐣🐣

Dear all,

Due to delayed roof work, we are still closed for the time being. Work will progress this and next week so hopefully we will have a better idea of reopening timing by the end of next week. Practically we are now looking into reopening after the Easter weekend.

If we managed to open earlier we shall post it here. Again, our apologies for the long closure and hope to see all soon.

King regards,
Toy Library and Toddler Martians’ volunteers

This is a quick note to say that we are still closed for the roof work and will inform of reopening date when we know it. Apologise and hoping we would be able to meet soon.

Sadly work will carry on for longer and taking in time needed to clean up, we are practically looking into the end of Feb for potential reopening. We would confirm further. Thanks for your patience.

Good morning. Unfortunately the roof needs longer to fix. Toy library and Todller Martians are definitely closed for 06/02 Monday and could potentially extend to 13/02. We will update towards the end of next week to confirm, stay tuned.

Though is a frosty morning, we have a reasonably good turnout this morning.
If you have a tea set enthusiast, this adorable wooden tea set ready with its wooden tea bag, sugar cubes and biscuits is not to miss! 😍

We have a helpful hand vacuuming this morning and an amazing transportation of two buses in a trike…who would have thought 😁.

PLEASE NOTE: We are closing temporary from next Monday 23/01 for some roof work for at least two weeks but could be longer if the situation demand so. We shall update at this page should the closing sadly has to be extended.

Please be assured that any toys that have been loaned out could be kept including this closed period without any extra charges.

Good morning everyone. Hope you have had a wonderful time and festive break. Today is our first session back for the new year. Hope to see many of the familiar smiley faces to mark our new start.

See you from 10-11.30am.

Good morning all. Just a quick reminder that we have our toy sale today! The toddler Martian is opened as usual though no toy library services as we need to divert volunteers to the sale. Hope to see as many of you as possible for this last session.

We shall see you back on 09/01/23 Monday after today.

Dear all,

We are having a pre-loved toy sale on 19/12 Monday’s session from 10-11.30pm. Come along to check it out and find something for your stockings. Here is a sneak peep of what are on offer.

We welcome any toy donation if you are clearing out for Christmas decoration and guests. Please bring them along when you join us on next Monday and pass to any of the volunteers. Many thanks in advance.

Please note that any toy rented out today or next week, you could keep them until 09/01 when we reopen without any extra charges.

We hope to see you for the last two session on 12/12 and 19/12 before we are off for the festive break. 🎡🎠🎄

Good morning everyone. Hope you have had a good breakfast, our breakfast cafe is in full swing as you can see and not to forget the little one in pram who needs a cuppa 😊.

We will be having a toy sale on our last session this year on 19/12 Monday 10-11.30am. Come along to find something for your stocking or simply to have a browse.

We look forward to seeing you on our regular Monday session and on 19/12.

We are planning to reopen on 09/01 but there might be building work around January which we have to close for two weeks when is confirmed. We shall update this page when we know of the dates and notify as early as possible.

If you have toy rented out, we shall add the two weeks off onto it without extra charge.

See you on 31/10, cheerio for just now.

Can’t believe it is already October! If you are planning Halloween outfit for your little ones, why not take a look at the toy library’s catalog? You could rent the outfit for 30p (two weeks) or 60p (for 4 weeks) and help the environment, what a bargain! Fireman, doctor, astronaut, knight, what would they prefer? 🎃👻

Please note we are closed for the term break for 17/10 & 24/10 and will be back on the 31/10. So next Monday 10/10 would be the last chance to grab these outfit. Thanks.

Good morning everyone. We have a little bit slow start but is sure filling up. If you are on your way, we shall see you soon.
