A PARENTING charity in Cirencester is encouraging parents and businesses in the town to use an app that identifies baby changing facilities.

NCT, the UK’s largest parenting charity, has created Babychange which helps parents avoid the stress of changing a nappy by showing baby changing facilities nearby.

Cirencester & District NCTA is encouraging people to use the app, which can be downloaded to iOS and Android devices, and also allows users to rate new facilities and rate them for cleanliness.

Share article Cirencester & District NCT spokesman, Gemma Tyrer, said: “We encourage parents and businesses to add facilities in Cirencester to make life easier for other local mums and dads. It’s easy to add a location and will make the award-winning app even better.”

“It’s also a great way for businesses to show they’re family-friendly by providing good baby changing rooms and encouraging more parents to become customers.”
