Staff at an East Lothian nursery where care inspectors had to step in to feed children during a visit failed to notice a child asleep at the lunch table during a follow-up inspection.
In a damning report on the follow-up check on Pear Tree Nursery, on Haddington’s West Road, inspectors said serious concerns about the nutritional welfare of youngsters remained after they witnessed children going hungry and one falling asleep at the table during mealtime.
And they revealed inspectors also recorded temperatures of 24 degrees in an ‘overcrowded' sleeping room which had no ventilation.
