Best first Playmobil set

I'm want to get my 3 year old a Playmobil set. She loves pretending to be babies, various animals and is always pretending there's a monster/dragon round every corner
She's got a few small character figures that she doesn't really play with but this would be her first proper set so I'm hoping if we play with her at the start she'll get the hang of it and love it
But there are so many sets!
Budget up £0- £60. I've seen the animal hotel and the nursery set (my life toddler group). Any other ideas?
Or if not Playmobil then any other ideas for small world play? I showed her Sylvanian families in the shops today and she wasn't fussed at all!

Following for inspo as my 3 year old DD would love this kind of thing too!

@elm26have a look at the toddler group 71649 and the Family Fun 71571 Playground
They are currently my favourites
But I feel like it's the tip of the iceberg!

Does she like paw patrol? My three year old uses the dogs for all sorts of imaginary play and rescues. There are some quite good Playmobil dragons you could add to a garage set for the paw patrol crew. Vinted is probably your friend to piece together a collection of things she'd like.

I got a Duplo set for my DGD when she was 2 and she’s still playing with it at 5. She also has Sylvanians but she didn’t start playing with them until more recently. What I like about the Duplo is that she can do a lot of the construction herself (once shown how to) and she also makes it into birthday cakes and other creations of her own. I’ve picked up a lot more pieces (especially animals) from charity shops and Duplo continues to be a well loved toy.

We've got 2 huge boxes of the basic duplo bricks but I never thought of getting her a set like that. I'll take a look thanks. It might be better than the tiny pieces in playmobil

No she's never watched paw patrol. Good tip for vinted, I'll take look now!
