A children's nursery in South Manchester has been slammed by inspectors who accused staff of not washing their hands after wiping children's noses. Clever Clowns Day Nursery in Newall Green was served a legal notice after Ofsted inspectors rated it inadequate in all areas during a visit in October.
The nursery, which has now taken all of the immediate actions required according to another report by the regulator, is set to close by Christmas. It comes after the other branch of the nursery in Gatley was also rated inadequate in October and closed before inspectors could visit again.
The Newall Green nursery, which is located at the former Eagle pub in Greenbrow Road, was rated Good in its last Ofsted inspection in 2018. But when inspectors visited in October, they found that children's wellbeing and safety was being compromised and raised some safeguarding concerns.
