The Edinburgh nursery - which trades under the Careshare name - was temporarily closed for two days last week to allow Police Scotland to carry out an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a child.
It re-opened on Monday (1 December).
Last Wednesday (26 November), a 13-month-old girl stopped breathing while in the care of the nursery, known as ‘Careshare at Port Hamilton’. She was taken to Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children, but medical staff were unable to revive her.
Reports suggest that the child had a medical condition and there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding her death.
