The group has been working with staff from Babywearing South West to train all its staff to carry children in a sling.

The project was introduced after Tops nursery manager Chris Champion attended a parent event in Yeovil last year and met representatives from Babywearing South West.

Tops then invited a babywearing consultant to deliver training sessions to all managers, area managers and training manager focusing on the benefits of babywearing, types of carrier and safety considerations, as well as practice of the various holds.

Tops staff will use the Kahu Baby carrier, which is suitable for carrying a child between 3.2kg and 16kg.
