Kids seen eating each other’s POO at nursery from hell where children are put in ‘significant danger’
A NURSERY from hell has been forced to shut its doors after kids were seen eating each other’s POO.
Ofsted has closed down Kidspiration nursery in Gorton, Manchester, because it put children in “significant danger”.
A shocking report details the “incredibly poor” care babies and toddlers were left under.
One disgusting excerpt explains how kids were ingesting each others excretment.
It reads: “When some staff change children’s nappies, they fail to notice that faeces have leaked onto surfaces that children have access to.
“This results in younger children putting faeces into their mouths.”
The inspector sent out to review the nursery even had to step in at one point, when he saw youngesters putting pebbles and sharp pieces of ice into their mouths.
The review adds: “He had to inform staff of a significant risk when children were climbing and leaning over a banister on the stairs.
“The inspector had to deploy himself at the top of the stairs to stop children from falling over the banister. This poor practice puts children at unnecessary risk.”
In all five categories assessed, the nursery was rated “inadequate”.

The report says: “”Catastrophic failings from leaders mean that children are not provided with adequate care and learning.
“Staff do not supervise children well. Although children are content to leave their parents and happily greet staff, many of them wander around the rooms, bored and seeking stimulation.
“Risk assessments are poor. The inspector had to intervene to maintain children’s safety on many occasions. This poor practice puts children at unnecessary risk.”
The nursery’s leaders, moreover, “fail in their duties to be legally compliant with the requirements of their registration”, added the report.
“Low expectations and an incredibly poorly designed curriculum leave children without the quality education that they rightly deserve. Gaps in learning do not close and children do not make the progress that they are capable of.
“Activities are tedious and, too often, children wander around without clear direction or purpose. Staff deployment and child supervision are very poor, but especially at the beginning of the day.
“Due to poor staff deployment and poor arrangements for child supervision, staff do not notice when there are other children’s faeces on the floor and within a low-level chair. Younger children touch the faeces and put it into their mouths. This places children at a significant risk and highlights the serious weaknesses in the leadership of the setting.”
Safeguarding arrangements, meanwhile, were said to be ‘not effective’.
“Staff do not supervise children well, which compromises children’s safety. Staff are not aware of when older children climb and hang over a stair banister. Some staff leave children unattended in a room by themselves.”
