Two nurseries near Bristol have been closed temporarily while they are investigated by Ofsted. The Leaping Lambs nurseries in Keynsham and the Willsbridge area of South Gloucestershire have both had their registrations suspended by Ofsted.
And the Willsbridge site has been removed from the directory of providers by South Gloucestershire Council, according to a letter seen by Bristol Live. Ofsted's website says that they only suspend a nursery's registration when they believe "a child or children may be at risk of harm".
The manager of the Leaping Lambs nurseries, Rebecca Lewis, said that they were unable to comment on the reason for the suspension while the investigation is carried out. "We are unable to comment further at this stage due to Ofsted rules. We can however confirm that both Keynsham and Willsbridge sites have had their registration temporarily suspended for a period of time.
