Young children were seen eating and touching each other's poo at a nursery branded 'inadequate' across the board and slammed over the 'catastrophic failings' of its management.
The shocking Ofsted report arising from an inspection of now-closed Kidspiration nursery on Gorton Lane, Gorton, has been published - and reveals children were put 'in significant danger'.
It highlighted 'incredibly poor' care practices and said the Ofsted inspector who carried out the assessment had to intervene when he witnessed the youngsters 'to maintain children's health and safety'. "When some staff change children's nappies, they fail to notice that faeces have leaked onto surfaces that children have access to," said the report. "This results in younger children putting faeces into their mouths."
