Mum of baby girl who died after choking at nursery slams government childcare cuts plans

The mum of a baby girl who died after choking at nursery has hit out at plans to reduce staff ratios in childcare.

According to reports, the Prime Minister is considering relaxing childcare ratios in a bid to cut costs for parents. The relaxing of health and safety rules would allow nurseries in England to take in more toddlers without employing extra staff.

Current legal requirements say there must be at least one member of staff for every three children aged two and under. For two-year-olds and over, there must be one member of staff for every four children.
