The nursery group was alerted to the possible risk of roller blinds after an incident took place at one of their newly acquired settings when a child was left with a minor injury to their neck from the cord of a blind.
Busy Bees informed Ofsted about the incident and an internal investigation was carried out, which revealed that the cord was not in its usual place, outside the window, to prevent children from reaching it.
Ofsted was satisfied with the action taken by Busy Bees to ensure children’s safety and took no further action.
Following the incident, Busy Bees was informed by their supplier that other nurseries have reported these risks with similar window furnishings.
