Parents have been given hope of getting through the school year without having to replace their child's uniform with a new offer from Morrisons.

The supermarket giant has launched a 200 day quality guarantee across its Nutmeg children's clothing range.

It said four in five parents needed to replace school uniforms within the same year of purchase and that two-thirds are replaced within the first six months.

The company said its new policy was intended to give customers confidence ahead of the new school year and that they could return any Nutmeg item for any reason up to 200 days after purchase.

Morrisons in Banbury is one of the stores that sells Nutmeg clothing, with the school uniform range available from today.
