Playhouse advice needed

I am looking at buying a playhouse for my little girl. We have spotted one we fancy and it has a decent sized base, but it is only 117cm in height. As I've never had to buy a playhouse before I don't know whether it is likely to be okay or not.

I don't want her to get to a certain age and for me to have to take it away because its too small for her. And then have to pay to replace it.

My estimates are that will probably last until she's around 5 or 6. Will she still be interested in a 'playhouse' for years longer than that?

    hi when my friend and me were younger we played in her wooden playhouse until we were 11 and after that we used it as our personal space away from the adults

    and we used to have picnics etc and when it was raining we used to play in it
    so its up to you but i think all children no matter how old they are like playhouses so id say buy or make a wooden one as it will last years and would be a better investment

    Don't think we've got the money (or a large enough garden) for a wooden one. We're on a limited budget. But whenever my 20 month old goes near a playhouse she screams at the top of her lungs when we have to take her away from it.

    The one we've spotted is:-

  • if you decide to go for that one i think there is a voucher for £13 off a £90 spend on the vouchers board and dont forget to buy a sim card for cheaper delivery.
