The stall comes complete with crates of wooden fruit, vegetables, eggs and other foods, making 60 pieces in all. It is supplied flat packed for self assembly. The cash register features a digital display showing pounds and pence, totals and change to be given, a barcode reader, swipe-card slot, flashing lights and sound effects.

Tester's report

These covered all the early learning goals and the children gained many new experiences. They help to develop sorting and communication skills, introduce new vocabulary and extend the understanding of monetary value. The food items were easily identifiable. The till is a great piece of equipment which we would recommend to other nurseries. We have some reservations about the market stall as it was not as durable as it might have been to justify the price.
