The retailer hopes the brand's sale can speed up its ambition to be free of bank debt as part of its restructuring last year.

Mothercare has agreed the sale of its Early Learning Centre brand to the owner of the Entertainer toy shop chain for up to £13.5m.

The struggling retailer, which was forced to strike a rescue deal with creditors as part of a restructuring and refinancing last year, said the proposed disposal would bolster its ambition to be free of bank debt by the end of this year. Mothercare said it did the deal with TEAL Brands because it did not have"the necessary capital, resources or scale" to continue to invest and develop own‑brand ELC toys.

When schools close early, we are surely back in an age of decline | David OlusogaMillions of lives are being slowly suffocated by remorseless Tory cuts that have deliberately undermined the pillars of a once-civilised society I think head teachers would have told you that a good three to five years ago and families the same. All repeatedly lied to with deceitful misleading reports and figures, by politicians and their government departments. We know they lie yet still they govern with no opposition Most adults who left school even just 10 yrs ago would not recognise their school today: the state of the fabric, the curriculum, the lack of resources and the manic stress; the stalwarts that have 'retired' (early) and the inexperienced new staff who have 'replaced' them. sosad Yet the guardian seem hellbent on ensuring corbyn doesnt get the chance to end this relentless attack on the poor by the tories. He is the only real answer cos the funny tingers are simply tory lites.
