\"nursery\"A nursery has been closed for investigation while it undergoes an enquiry following three children who attended suffering fractured limbs. As a result, two people have been arrested by police and a further three are being questioned.<\/p>\n

The Rocking Horse Nursery, Plumtree, Nottinghamshire has had its licence suspended while Ofsted look in to the injuries, which have yet to be explained.
\n<\/p>\n

The children injured were between one and two years of age. \u00a0One child was taken to hospital with an unexplained fracture, and this led to an enquiry by police which then uncovered the further injuries to two other children.<\/p>\n

According to The Times website, police enquiries are trying to establish if the injuries were caused deliberately or as a result of neglect or just a result of coincidence. The nursery is said to be co-operating fully with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Children of a young age are particularly vulnerable to injury<\/strong> due to them still growing and their bones developing. One of the consequences of handling young children aggressively \u00a0is Shaken Baby Syndrome, or SBS. As implied by the name, it occurs when an infant or small child is shaken violently, creating a whiplash<\/a>-type motion. Amongst other possible injuries\u00a0this can result in broken bones, brain damage<\/a> or even death.<\/p>\n

At this point in investigations the nursery has issued a statement to outline that they have not been informed of any evidence to suggest any alleged injury was sustained in the care of the nursery. However, it is rare for Ofsted to mount such an investigation and eyebrows will certainly be raised at the proximity of the injuries between the three children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
