A Glasgow toddler walked out of a nursery playground after a worker left him unsupervised.
Rajinder Kaur compounded the problem when he didn't bother to do a headcount when the children returned inside Caldercuilt Nursery.
An investigation into the child development officer's conduct at the Glasgow City Council-run school was told of a catalogue of failings, that also included manhandling and bawling at very young children and drinking alcohol on shift.

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) carried out a review of Kaur's fitness to practise after he "straddled" a little boy lying on the ground and bawled "‘don’t you ever hit me again".
On other occasions, he stretched a child's arms over his head and walked him into the nursery, and on another, he lifted a young girl by her upper arm leaving a mark.
A written finding from the SSSC pointed out: "You failed to supervise child BB who was high risk for climbing stairs. While this appears to be a genuine mistake and no harm was caused, BB managed to gain access to the stairs and leave the playground due to your failure to properly supervise him and failure to then carry outa head count.
"This could have been avoided had you been more vigilant in your duties and responsibilities.
"In lifting CC by her upper arm, you again demonstrated a lack of control. Your actions left a red mark on CC’s arm was likely to have caused some physical harm and distress.
"It is acknowledged that your colleague brought in some alcohol as part of a particular set of circumstances. While you were not intoxicated and did not drink any alcohol in front of children, you were still on shift and due to continue supporting children. This behaviour demonstrated poor judgement."
The SSSC imposed a warning on Kaur's registration for three years after determining there was a "pattern of concerning misconduct".
