Reviews are an essential part of any marketing plan, but comprehensive evaluation by experts in child development and play, as well as by children themselves, will make your reviews, and in turn, your products, stand out from the crowd.

Our rigorous evaluation process means that our stamp of approval is highly sought after in the industry, as well as well recognised and trusted by parents.

Products which meet our criteria are awarded a place in The Good Learning Guide, and the use of the stamp, which can be leveraged across packaging, PR, retail, events and much more, giving your brands a real point of difference.  

Our strategic product reports are designed for products that are already on the market.

If you have a new product or concept in development, ask us about our prototype product reports, which may be better suited to you.  

Alternatively, if you have multiple apps to submit or a smaller budget then contact us to discuss our basic product accreditation. 

For more information on how to de-risk your product development head over to our sister site; FUNdamentally Children.   

Firstly, it can give you greater insight into your product. This means that you can talk about the strengths and benefits with more confidence when pitching to stakeholders or marketing to consumers.

You can also quote the report to add credibility by using our independent, expert voice to endorse your product.

Secondly, a strategic report can help make your product the best it can be, with recommendations for development from our experts. This includes usability, engagement, and skill development where relevant. 

All of this and more including money can’t buy opportunities such as ad hoc press and media coverage you can’t really afford not to submit your lines for evaluation

As with our accreditations, the App is tested with multiple children, parents, and child carers as appropriate. You’ll also benefit from free fastrack testing and, if your product meets the minimum standards, it will be featured in the Good Learning Guide and the gateway is open for a range of other support. 

Strategic product reports vary in length depending on the feedback we receive for your product, but are typically around 2,000-3,000 words long.
