Edinburgh mum says bullies 'bit and threatened to stab' daughter, four, in nursery

An Edinburgh mum says her daughter is having sleepless nights after being threatened and bitten by fellow girls at a local nursery.

The mum claims her daughter, who is four, came home one day saying two girls threatened to bring a knife into nursery and cut her before biting her arm on the second last day of term, leaving a huge bruise.

As well as the troubling threats, the youngster was supposedly made to lick dirt of one of the bullies fingers after they forced her head down. As a result, the girl has been left terrified to go into nursery.
