Nursery apologises after child with Down's syndrome ‘treated less favourably’

A nursery has apologised after parents said their daughter with Down's syndrome was 'treated less favourably' than other children.

The parents of Amelie Cummins brought a disability discrimination case on behalf of their daughter against Trinity Nursery School in Bangor, Northern Ireland, which they lodged with the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal.

Their daughter entered Trinity Nursery School in September 2020 with a statement of special educational needs, which provided for her to attend mainstream nursery school with 22.5 hours of classroom support each week.
