The family of a tot who was left badly burned by bleach and boiling water after an accident at nursery have been handed a five-figure pay out for damages.
Little Blake Nilssen, then 10-months-old, passed out from the pain after using a cleaning bucket to pull himself to his feet at Little Dreams Nursery in Aberdeen. The care watchdog upheld multiple complaints against the nursery, with senior staff being subsequently reprimanded following the incident.
A legal action against the nursery has now settled out-of-court with all compensation being set aside in a trust for Blake until he turns 16. Blake's mum Ellie, 28, has told how, despite the cash payout, she remains "disappointed" by nursery's "indefensible" failings.
