Worker Well-being

Family-Friendly Spaces

2025 marks the biggest year for the Family-Friendly Spaces program with a total of 59 childcare spaces in 57 factories and 2 community centres – 17 new and 42 repeating across China and Vietnam.
Dedicated, secure environments, in both communities and factories, allowing children to safely engage in supervised activities while freeing workers of the financial burden of childcare.

What do Family-Friendly Spaces deliver?

Our Family-Friendly Spaces program provides secure and well-equipped spaces, at factories and in communities, for children to learn and play while their parents work. The program promotes child-friendly employment practices, supports the United Nations SDGs: 3, 4, 5, 10 & 17 and allows parents to work free from the expense and burden of childcare.

The Family-Friendly Spaces program not only benefits workers and their families, but is proven to produce measurable business benefits for factories including improved worker retention rates, reduced training costs and becoming the employer of choice in their communities.

Established in 2007 and certified by the Ethical Supply Chain Program in 2008, Best Top Toys supplies major brands like Target, McDonald's, Disney, MGA and Universal Studios.
