A nursery has been suspended by a watchdog after a 'significant incident' where a driver claimed to find a child wandering along a busy road. Aaron Hawkins, 43, previously spoke of how he spotted the boy, who he said was no older than five, walking up the side of the A453 outside the Little Toes Day Nursery on Green Lane, Clifton, at around 11am on Tuesday, September 13.
According to Mr Hawkins, the child was about to step into the road when he stepped in and moved him away from the busy route. Ofsted have now confirmed they are aware of a 'significant incident' at the nursery, and that its registration is currently suspended.
Ofsted only do this if they believe a child or children may be at risk of harm, with it meaning the provider cannot provide childcare that requires registration with the watchdog. However, a statement on their website outlines this does not always mean the provider has done something wrong, with the suspension giving Ofsted and other agencies, such as the police or the local authority, time to look into concerns.
