A damning report has branded a children's nursery as 'inadequate' after babies were "left alone in a dark room" and children "were not given access to fresh water".
The nursery has been given Ofsted's worst possible rating, citing problems with hygiene, staff morale, tearful and uncertain children and a provider who has "failed to meet numerous legal requirements".
Oftsted made an unannounced inspection of Little Stars Day Nursery in Shoeburyness, Essex, at the beginning of December 2021 - its first since registering in October 2020 - and following its rating made a list of demands to be enforced by the venue, Essex Live reports.
