The Cardiff store, on Queen Street in the city centre, will close on Thursday, April 19. The Swansea outlet will close three days later on Sunday, April 22.

The joint administrators of Toys R Us Limited, Simon Thomas and Arron Kendall, partners in Moorfields Advisory Limited, announced the remaining 75 Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores in the UK are to close by Tuesday, April 24 2018.

All 2,054 employees have been informed and will be paid up to and including their last day of employment.

Simon Thomas, joint administrator and partner at Moorfields, said: “We are grateful for the hard work of everybody at Toys R Us during this extremely difficult and challenging time.

“We are working closely with the 2,000 employees affected by the closures to ensure they receive the support they need for redundancy and other compensatory payments.

“The stores across the county will be open as usual until the last day of trading and we would encourage shoppers to make the most of the great deals on offer.”
