About Us

Our story 

We spread the joy of play-based learning through resources that inspire, excite and delight. Since our launch in 2006, we have been passionately developing quality early years resources to support the learning and development of young children.

Based in Cambridge, UK, our award-winning collection of early learning resources are designed to inspire open-ended play, promote language development, and enrich learning in the early years. Loved by early years educators, childminders and parents, our products are trusted across the world.

Proud to be FSC certified 

FSC® helps take care of forests and the people and wildlife that call them home and we are delighted to have FSC certification for all our wooden resources. By choosing our natural wood products, you will be supporting responsible management of the world’s forests.

Five-year play-proof guarantee 

Day in and day out, our early years learning resources are tested to the toughest of standards to withstand whatever children can throw at them – sand, water and mud included! Our learning resources are built to last, so we’re proud to offer a five-year play-proof guarantee across our entire range 

Replacement parts

If you happen to misplace a component from any of our stone, wooden or printed card set, find peace of mind knowing we can provide a replacement to ensure the set remains whole. This commitment not only completes your set but also minimises environmental impact.  

Designed by educational experts 

Our team of experienced educationalists enjoy creating multi-sensory, open-ended learning resources to improve outcomes for children through wonderful play experiences. Innovation and a keen eye for detail go hand-in-hand to deliver an award-winning range loved by both practitioners and children.  

Educational value 

From early maths to imaginative play, our resources provide rich educational experiences for children to explore early learning concepts in a hands-on, meaningful way. By utilising quality materials like stone and FSC-certified wood, combined with innovative production methods, we create unique products, that invite children to explore.

Serious about safety

As serious as we are about a child’s right to play, we’re equally serious about keeping them safe. Every product we manufacture is rigorously tested to comply with the latest UK, European and US Toy Safety Standards. You will find no lead, cadmium, phthalates, BPA or other nasties in Yellow Door products.

The sustainable choice

At the heart of our brand is a commitment to sustainability, embedded in every product and process. We strive to minimise waste, reduce plastic use, and shrink our carbon footprint, all while embracing sustainably sourced materials. Read more about our sustainability journey.
