Excellent service and outstanding product

I received the items within a few days of ordering and was informed and updated about the status of the order.
Thought and care had gone into the packaging, items were beautifully presented.
The quality is outstanding, the wooden blocks and puzzles are aesthetically pleasing to look at and a delight to touch.

I found Oak & Sprout via Facebook where I saw the exotic hardwood building blocks. I was very impressed by the business ethos and contacted Jennifer to ask if it was possible to personalise the item for me as I needed it for a special gift. The customer service is outstanding and everything I asked for was duly delivered. I was moved to tears by the quality and workmanship and I am sure it will be treasured by generations to come.

I loved the look of the geometric bricks
I loved the look of the geometric wooden bricks it was reviewed by an architect as a beautiful product . It had recommendations from Montessori being child friendly as they sourced woods from sustainable countries and the dyes were non toxic. The order was badly delayed and I wondered if it had been a scam GLADLY It is so carefully crafted by hand which is a slow process and BELIEVE ME It was WELl WORTH the wait and I will back for more Just order early as they are so popular by discerning customers and cannot recommend Highly Enough Jenniver responded to all my emails with care and attention and most of all Delivered a beautiful gift .

mportant Sourcing Facts for Buyers Expecting 'British Made'

UPDATE: The company’s response below is convoluted, using emotional appeals to deflect from the reality of their setup.

I am updating this because I see other reviews actively praising the brand for being "British made." To help other buyers see the actual facts and decide for themselves, here is the reality as per the company's response:

Core Manufacturing: The company has admitted below that the primary manufacturing work – the precision cutting and shaping of the timber – takes place entirely in Asia and Europe.

The "Assembly" Discrepancy: They claim UK "assembly" justifies their branding, but the vast majority of their range consists of flat wooden jigsaw puzzles and tracing boards, which require absolutely zero assembly. They are simply imported components oiled and boxed in the UK.

Unfair to True UK Artisans: It is totally okay to import goods, but wrapping an overseas supply chain in a "UK Maker" aesthetic is misleading. It heavily undercuts genuine British woodworkers who face massive UK overheads to cut and shape toys from scratch on British soil.

If you are happy with imported wood that are oiled and boxed in the UK, this brand is fine. But do not buy under the false impression that these are fully British-crafted items.

My original review to which the company responded is below:
-----------------------------------------------------------

I recently came across Oak and Sprout and was initially impressed by the aesthetic of their Montessori toys, particularly those featuring exotic hardwoods like Padauk and Zebrano. However, I have some concerns regarding the transparency of their manufacturing process that I hope the company can clarify.

I posted a polite question on their instagram page asking for confirmation on whether these items are manufactured in the UK. Instead of receiving a response, my comment was removed and I was blocked. This is a significant red flag for any consumer seeking to support local artisans.

My concerns are twofold:

Price vs. Material: As a woodcraft enthusiast, the pricing (e.g., £50-£60 for complex moving toys made of exotic timber) is remarkably low for UK-based labor and material costs. This suggests large-scale overseas manufacturing rather than local "hand-made" production.

"Hand-finished" vs. "Made": The website mentions being a "curator" and that items are "hand-finished in the UK." This distinction is important. It implies the primary machining and construction happen elsewhere, which contradicts the "small-batch British artisan" image the marketing portrays.

I am leaving this review to give the company an opportunity to provide a transparent public response. Where exactly are these toys cut, shaped, and assembled before they arrive in the UK for finishing?

I would be more than happy to update this review if the company can provide clear, honest information about their supply chain and Country of Origin.

Otherwise, the product seems to be genuine and engaging, only it is not made by a genuine "family-run studio".

Besvarelse fra Oak & Sprout

Thank you for this — genuinely. You asked a fair question in good faith, and you deserve a straight answer rather than silence. So here it is.

First, the blocking — that was a mistake, and I'm sorry. A question like yours deserved an answer, not silence, and there was no intention to shut you down.

Now the substance, because you clearly know your timber and we'd rather talk to you as a peer than dodge you.

You're right that £50–60 is low for fully UK-made exotic hardwood toys, and we won't pretend otherwise. But the reason isn't large-scale overseas production — we're genuinely small (a recent run was around 150 block sets over a fortnight, made by us, a couple of local freelancers and some friends, they're still drying).

There's more than one honest way to price wood. A lot of makers price each piece at the true value of the hours in it — which is right, and probably what you'd expect to see. We've gone the other way: thin margins, sold in volume. Not because we don't rate the work, but because we'd rather these woods reach a lot of children than a few — and, honestly, because volume is the only way a business our size survives. It may well come back to bite us, and it's harder than it looks. Not a "retire-early" business — but it's ours.

On where the work happens: our oak comes from Norfolk. Our exotic hardwoods grow across the world — purpleheart in Brazil, and so on — and we have them cut close to where the trees grow, in parts of Europe and Asia, under CITES certification. That's deliberate: shipping a whole log across the planet is wasteful, so the timber is cut to size near its source, which means less waste and fewer trees felled. What arrives with us is carefully cut stock — just pieces of wood basically. Everything after that — assembly (you'd assumed that happened abroad; it doesn't, it's ours), every bolt, the oiling, the drying, the safety checks and the finishing — is done by hand by us here in Wiltshire. The finishing is the part we would never hand to anyone else, because the oil is what ends up in a child's mouth, and our three year old daughter plays with these.

So, "hand-finished in the UK" is precise rather than evasive — but you've fairly pointed out that "curator" can read as "we don't really make anything," which isn't right either, and we're making our sourcing clearer on the site because of this review.

The bit that stung most: we are a genuine family-run studio. It's me, my partner, our little one usually underfoot or trying to play with something, a couple of freelancers on our industrial estate, and a new apprentice we're lucky enough to train up. Some of the wood being cut abroad doesn't change that — it just means we put our own hands on the part that matters most.

And a genuine thank-you to finish on. We hear "isn't this a bit pricey?" far more often than the reverse, and it stings every time — so someone who clearly values the craft telling us the work is worth more than we charge is, honestly, lovely to read. You're probably right, too; we may well have to raise them one day. You found what we make engaging enough to take it seriously — and whether or not you ever buy from us, that matters. If anything's still unclear, just ask — we'll answer.

What a beautiful product

What a beautiful product, i love it. It arrived beautifully packaged in a box, tissue paper and a felt sheet - ensuring no damage was caused in transit. It also came with a thank you card and a card showing the different types of wood used in the manufacture.
