Morrisons' launch of its own brand childrenswear range, Nutmeg, will see all the Big Four supermarkets selling clothing for the first time, further heightening their rivalry.

In reportedly the first major collaboration of its kind among British retailers, George at Asda, M&S, Monsoon, Next, Shop Direct Group, and Tesco have joined forces as part of the Shape GB consortium to develop a standardized system for children's clothes sizes.

Mothercare has announced positive results for the 52 weeks to March 28, 2009, indicating that group sales are up 6.9%. Furthermore, UK sales are up 2.4% while UK like-for-like sales have increased by 1.4%. Steps taken to improve both sales and overall performance have been highly successful and the retailer is well placed to remain one of the more resilient merchants in the UK during the downturn.

ASOS has launched its new childrenswear range, with items for babies between 0 and 24 months old and children aged between two and six years old.

Mothercare, a retailer of baby and maternity goods, has posted a mixed set of results, with impressive international and internet growth, but a dip in sales from its core format due to the re-structuring of its UK store estate. However, overall the company looks to be one of the market's safer bets as conditions deteriorate for UK retailers.

The National Schoolwear Centre, which has 50 stores, has entered into administration; however, the retailer is continuing to trade and is hoping to find a buyer for the business and the assets as a going concern. The National Schoolwear Centre has undoubtedly felt the effects of more inclusive school uniform policies, which have allowed a broader set of retailers to take some of its market share.

Its turnaround program has struggled to gather positive momentum, with same-store sales down 2% in January following a disappointing Christmas. Going forward, Gap will be keen to lay the foundations for a more positive year ahead, but with the global economy still rocky, the company has its work cut out.
