Non-verbal boy excluded from nursery play because it would 'spoil it for the other children'

An outraged mother claims a nursery excluded her son from a play because he is unable to speak, BirminghamLive reports. Tilly Carrie alleges Ashmore Park Nursery stopped her three-year-old, Ace, from taking part in the Christmas event because it would "spoil it for the other children".

The Wolverhampton mum-of-two said he is non-verbal, although his condition has not yet been officially diagnosed. Ms Carrie said another boy who also was unable to speak was excluded from the play at the nursery as well.

She lodged a complaint with the nursery, which is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and an internal investigation took place, but it said that the nursery acted in line with its protocol. Ms Carrie has since moved her son to a new nursery where she says he is "very happy".
