The parents of a non-verbal tot have spoken of their frustration over their struggle to get him into a nursery after being rejected by a string of centres around Oldham .
Lucy and James Ellis say they have approached dozens of nurseries and have been rejected outright by ten. They've become convinced that no nursery will accept their two-year-old son Jacob, who has allergies to soya, egg and grass and needs an EpiPen.
The youngster is currently on a nine-month waiting list for speech and language therapy. The pair say they have faced an uphill battle trying to get the tot into nursery over the past 18 months – with the difficulties starting when Jacob was just six-months-old. Primary school teacher Lucy, from Royton, says she has contacted around 25 nurseries across Oldham but has had no success.
