There are some brands that simply belong in a beautifully appointed nursery. Brands that share our belief that the things we surround our little ones with should be chosen with care, crafted with love, and designed to last long in the memory — if not always on the shelf.
Jellycat is one of those brands. And we are thrilled to announce that The Baby Cot Shop is now an official, authorised Jellycat stockist. That means when you shop our Jellycat collection — in our Chelsea boutique, through our Harrods concession, or online — you can do so with complete confidence. Every toy is 100% genuine, sourced directly through Jellycat's official channels, and meets the full safety standards the brand is celebrated for.
Let us tell you why we fell in love with Jellycat in the first place, and why you will too.
A British Original
Jellycat was born in London in 1999, founded by brothers Thomas and William Gatacre with a simple but rather wonderful ambition: to make soft toys that were noticeably, unforgettably softer than anything else on the market. Over twenty-five years later, that founding principle still holds. The brand is now beloved in over 77 countries, and yet it has never lost its essential character: playful, imaginative, and quietly, brilliantly British. It felt entirely right to welcome a brand with those roots into The Baby Cot Shop family.
What Makes Jellycat So Special?
If you have ever handed a child a Jellycat toy and watched their face, you already know the answer to this question. There is something about the softness, the expression, the sheer personality of each toy that makes it instantly, irresistibly loveable.
But there is more to Jellycat than tactile charm. The brand takes safety with the utmost seriousness. All toys comply with toy safety standards, are crafted from baby-grade materials, and are designed to be gentle enough for the very youngest of children, including newborns. As a brand that has always placed safety and quality at the heart of everything we do, this was non-negotiable for us. Jellycat passed every test.
Then there is the design. Jellycat occupies a creative space entirely its own. Their toys are whimsical without being frivolous, distinctive without being garish. From the iconic Bashful Bunny to the wonderfully imaginative Amuseables range, where smiling croissants, cheerful avocados, and grinning cacti somehow manage to be endearing, there is a Jellycat for every child, every personality, and every nursery aesthetic.
A Toy for Every Chapter
One of the things we adore most about Jellycat is that the brand grows with your child and with your family. For newborns and young babies, the softest, most compact companions offer sensory comfort and something reassuring to reach for. For toddlers, a Jellycat becomes a confidant, a best friend, a non-negotiable travel companion. And for older children (and, to be honest, many adults) they are collectibles, thoughtful gifts, and little objects of delight that brighten a room simply by being in it.
Whether you are dressing a nursery, searching for the perfect baby shower gift, marking a christening, or simply treating your little one to something very special, a Jellycat toy carries with it a sense of occasion. These are not throwaway toys. They are the kind that end up in the memory box. The kind that children still remember, by name, thirty years later.
