- Her parents, Zoe and Adam Salt, welcomed the council's thorough investigation and stated they are looking to the inquest to provide long-awaited answers.
- An inquest into the toddler's death was originally opened and adjourned in 2022.
- Since the tragedy, Sadie's parents have campaigned to stop nurseries from serving high-risk foods, such as sausages and grapes, to children under the age of five.
