We’re proud to be officially “Good Play Guide” recommended
We’re delighted to share a major milestone: MMT Play has received accreditation from Dr Gummer’s Good Play Guide, the UK’s trusted, independent authority on products that support children’s play and learning. This endorsement follows hands-on testing with children and families, plus expert review against the Guide’s criteria of Fun, Skill Development, and Ease of Use. A process designed to be rigorous, unbiased, and genuinely useful for parents and professionals choosing quality resources.
What the accreditation means
To be featured in the Good Play Guide, products must meet clear benchmarks, including a minimum combined star rating across the three criteria above, with all products already meeting relevant safety standards. The Guide gathers real-world feedback from children, parents and childcare professionals, then adds expert analysis before awarding stars in each category. That means this accreditation isn’t just a badge, it’s further evidence that our products are engaging, effective for learning, and easy to use!
