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.
