Manager of Scots nursery where child was burned by bleach and boiling water allowed to keep job

The manager of a Scots nursery where a 10-month-old boy was left with second degree burns from bleach and boiling water has been allowed to carry on working in the care industry.

Little Blake Nilssen toppled over an unattended cleaning bucket while trying to stand up at the Little Dreams Nursery in Aberdeen in November 2021, later passing out because of the pain.

The tot was also denied treatment for an hour because staff waited for parents to collect him instead of calling for an ambulance - which a watchdog today said caused Blake "a prolonged period of emotional and physical harm".
