On Monday 9 May, Greater Manchester Police were called to Tiny Toes Children’s Day Nursery in Cheadle, Stockport, after a child there suffered a medical episode.
The eight-month-old girl was taken to hospital where she sadly died the same day.
Two women, aged 35 and 34, have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. They remain in custody for questioning.
Detective Superintendent Phil Duffy, from GMP’s Stockport CID, said, ‘Our thoughts are very much with baby girl’s family who are understandably shocked and devastated and we’re doing everything we can to get them the answers they deserve.
‘Since we were called, we’ve carried out a number of lines of enquiry already and now two arrests have been made as our investigation continues. Officers are continuing to work to establish the full facts around what happened and ascertain the circumstances behind this tragedy.
