Lisa Phillips, (pictured), manager of Honeytree Day Nursery in Horfield, Bristol, took money from parents for the care of their children, but did not register them.
According to Avon and Somerset Police, the nursery manager, who had worked at the setting for 20 years, encouraged parents to pay their fees in cash.
Between October 2011-July 2013, she recruited 21 children as young as two to the nursery, who she did not officially register. This meant these children were attending the nursery without proper records of their health, medical or dietary needs.
