A nursery in Stamford has been ordered to pay over £20,000 after a toddler was scarred for life by scalding hot water.
The incident happened at the Children's Garden on Broad Street in 2023. The little girl suffered severe burns to her head, face and neck that required specialist hospital treatment The nursery admitted two breaches of health and safety in court this week. The toddler was injured after an open top bottle warmer tipped over on a worktop in the nursery's baby room. The nursery has since replaced it with one that doesn't use hot water and says they were mortified the bottle heater had inflicted such horrific injuries. The girl's mum believes her daughter will need more surgery and treatments as she grows up. The nursery admitted failing to ensure the health and safety of non members of staff and failing to report an incident to the relevant authorities by the quickest practical means and within 10 days.
