The despairing parents of a non-verbal toddler have spoken of their frustration over their struggle to get him into a nursery after multiple centres rejected their applications.
Lucy and James Ellis approached 25 nurseries for a place for little Jacob but have so far been rejected outright by ten.
The toddler, who has allergies to soya, egg and grass and needs an EpiPen, is currently on a nine-month waiting list for speech and language therapy.
