THE DEATH OF a one-year-old boy at a nursery in England is being treated as “suspicious” by police, with six women arrested in connection with the incident.
The police said three women – aged 20, 23 and 50 – were arrested on 16 December on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and later bailed. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said two ambulances, a trauma doctor and an air ambulance were sent to premises in Bourne Street at 3.19pm on 9 December.“Medics commenced advanced life support which continued en route to Russells Hall Hospital by ambulance.”A previous Ofsted report published in February last year found provision at the multi award-winning nursery to be good overall.
“We suspended the provider’s registration because we believe children may be at risk of harm,” the report said. It must also “demonstrate how you will ensure sleeping babies are frequently checked to ensure that they are safe”, as well as “review and implement sleeping arrangements to ensure children are placed down to sleep safely in line with latest government safety guidance”.
The provider must also “ensure risk assessment is effective and identifiy aspects of the environment that need to be checked on a regular basis… and how the risk will be removed or minimised”.
