During the coronavirus lockdown, the toddler room and baby room were merged. Ms Roughley said she was asked to move to that section of the nursery, which remained open for children of key workers.

Ms Roughley said when she first started working at the nursery when she was 18, the staff to child ratio was ‘less than what it ended up’. In relation to policies at the nursery, Ms Roughley said they were in a number of files in the different rooms, and staff were asked by management to ‘sign for it’.
