Screens 'having huge behavioural impact' on babies

Nursery staff in Leicester say they're seeing babies and toddlers who are coming into classes already addicted to screens.

Allexton Nursery staff say children, only a few months old, can become aggressive and disruptive when they're separated from iPads and phones.

According to OFCOM around a quarter of 5-7 year-olds now own a smartphone.

Jo Hollis spoke to Katy Lynch from Allexton nursery in Leicester, as well as parents of young children, and Leicester child psychologist Lynn Moore.
