Hospital nursery registration suspended over safeguarding

A hospital nursery has been temporarily closed following an Ofsted inspection that flagged safeguarding issues.

The Toybox Day Nursery had its registration suspended following an inspection on Tuesday, to allow urgent staff training to take place.
