Samuel Johnston Nursery

Nearly 90 Years of Knowing Exactly What Parents Need

Samuel Johnston was established in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland in 1936 — which makes it one of the longest-standing independent nursery specialists in the UK and Ireland, and one of the most trusted. What began as a family business with core values of quality, service and trust has grown into one of Europe's largest independent online nursery retailers, with over 80 top brands and a showroom that parents travel considerable distances to visit. It has earned that reputation the honest way — one helpful interaction at a time, over nearly nine decades.

From prams, pushchairs and travel systems to car seats, nursery furniture, toys and accessories, everything a new or growing family needs is here — including certified car seat fitting experts, a free nursery lay-away service, and the kind of knowledgeable staff who will spend an hour with you in store making sure you leave with exactly the right products rather than simply the most expensive ones. The range includes everything from Mamas & Papas and Cybex to Silver Cross and dozens more, at prices that are consistently competitive and backed by exceptional after-sales service.
