Multiple-Lifetime Guarantee
Write a clear and concise answer to guide your customers.
Cracks/splits from structural failure, faults in joints/engraving/finish, and hardware issues (e.g., stylus tips/fittings).
The guarantee covers defects and failures; everyday wear is kind of expected.
For well-loved pieces we offer restoration (refinishing, replacements for lost/worn parts) so the toy can keep being passed on. Depending on the work involved, we may ask for a fair recompense, but we rely on your honesty most of the time.
At the end of the day, we will do everything we can to get your favourite toy, back in the rotation asap. We've got you.
No. DIY repairs don’t void it; if you’d like guidance, we’ll share simple repair tips too!
Yes. Our Multiple Lifetime Guarantee is transferable and follows the product, not the buyer. Whether you’re the original purchaser, a gift recipient, or the next family to love it, you’re covered. Just contact us with photos and a brief note about the issue, and we’ll guide you from there.
Not required. If you have an order number or gift note, great—otherwise a few photos and the story of how it came to you are enough for us to help.
Yes, but shipping options/costs may vary by country; we’ll share the best route once you contact us.
We aim for a gentle “restore, not replace” approach—keeping character while making it safe and beautiful again. We’ll confirm expectations before work begins.
Community & Partnerships

Oak & Sprout
We design heirloom wooden toys that celebrate nature’s own colours. The base is oak or beech; the pops of colour come from rare hardwoods like Padauk and Purpleheart—never paint or dye. Each piece is CNC-cut and hand-finished in our Wiltshire workshop (with help from small partner workshops), then checked one by one.
Wood is wonderfully individual. Grain and tone vary, and we rotate the exotic species we use—so your toy will beveryclose, but not identical. That’s part of the charm.
Yes. We use child-safe oils/waxes and sand smooth rounded edges. Our toys are built to UK/EU toy-safety standards (EN71). If you’d like a copy of the docs for a product, just email care@oakandsprout.co.uk.
Designed and hand-finished in Wiltshire, UK. Some components are produced by trusted small workshops; everything is quality-checked by us before it ships.
Most small-piece puzzles are 2+ due to small parts. Always supervise play and follow the age guidance on each product page.
Pop us a note at care@oakandsprout.co.uk We’re a small family team and we do read every message.
Yes—FSC or equivalent responsibly-sourced hardwoods. We keep packaging minimal and recyclable.
A lot of the woods we work with are endangered or on the critical list. We have CITES passports for all the wood we use and actively work against illegal logging. We want the beauty and wonder that these incredible species create to be enjoyed by generations to come.
We’ve got you. Email a quick photo and note and we’ll sort a replacement piece - we don't need proof of order.
Our multiple-lifetime guarantee means that even if your Nana bought it for your mum 20 years ago - you're still covered.
