In a hard-hitting Ofsted report, inspectors said Kids Planet Day Nursery Apley had staff who "do not recognise choking risks to babies when they bite pieces off sponges that they are given to play with," and "risk assessment is not used effectively to identify and minimise, or remove, risks to children's safety".

However, in its latest inspection, the nursery, which is in the grounds of Princess Royal Hospital, was told that many improvements are evident.

"Staff morale is high, and they feel supported and valued by management," said Ofsted's Trisha Turney and Jacqueline Coomer, who inspected the nursery.
