Nursery school admits k!lling toddler after staff restrained him during nap time

A nursery has admitted corporate manslaughter and a health and safety offence over the de@th of a 14-month-old boy.

The child, Noah Sibanda d!ed after being restrained while being put to sleep at the now-closed Fairytales Day Nursery, on Bourne Street, Dudley, in December 2022.

The company pleaded guilty to the offences at Wolverhampton Crown Court, with owner Deborah Latewood, 55, also admitting she should have known children were being put to sleep in a dangerous position.

Nursery worker Kimberley Cookson, 23, had previously admitted gross negligence manslaughter in the case. She tried to make Noah sleep by placing him face down on a soft cushion, restraining him with her leg.

Latewood and the nursery were expected to face a trial in April, but entered new pleas.
