Toys R Us UK said that if approved by the creditors the CVA plan would substantially reduce its rental obligations and allow the business to move to a new, viable business model.
The firm said it anticipated redundancies among its workforce of 3,200 but did not give a specific number.
Toys R Us UK said all its stores would remain open as normal through Christmas and into the new year.
