Toy Box Tots Voom pitch

In the UK last year, a staggering 775k babies were born. Evolution dictates that these bundles of joy turn into toddlers. Four of these are ours.

What we wish we had known before our children entered this stage is that the one thing children love more than anything else is new toys/other children’s toys.

So we founded Toy Box Tots - a toy box rental service.
We deliver a new toy box filled with fun and exciting toys for your Tots to play with, anywhere in the UK, whether they’re 12 months old, or 4 3/4. Once they’re done, we take the box away. Cost-efficient, space-saving and environmentally friendly.

Each box is themed around one of our favourite childrens’ books and although we collect the toys, the child keeps the book.

Play is hugely important for a child’s development and ‘improves IQ, social-emotional functioning, learning, and academic performance’. Crucially though, the more time Tots are playing, the less time they’re screaming, and that’s why our sales are increasing 250% month on month.

If your little ‘angel’ has been chucking a tantrum for the past seven hours, you’ll do whatever it takes for some peace and quiet... as will everyone else in the cafe.

As UK holidays fast approach, parents, holiday cottages, hotels and wedding planners are all renting our boxes, and subscriptions are going through the roof. So we need your help pretty desperately.

To keep up with demand, we need funding to:

Buy more toys
Hire more staff to pack our toy boxes once we have created them
A CRM system to make our logistics even more efficient
Once we’ve got through the summer we’d love to work with Virgin on growing our monthly subscriptions to 5,000/week and getting our boxes into every UK hotel, holiday village and on every wedding planner’s list across the country.

It means happier kids and happier parents, as Laura and Claudia kindly say below:

‘I absolutely love the concept and never go away without a box!’ Laura, London

‘I used Toy Box Tots for my nephews during my wedding - it gave them hours of entertainment and their parents also managed to enjoy the day!’ Claudia, Dorset

You can’t put a price on your kids happiness. But if you were to... it starts at £19.

Thanks so much for reading,
