The nursery at the centre of the major police investigation was ordered to shut down earlier this week after the discovery of a rat infestation.
Mini Fingers nursery in Irlam was issued with a prohibition order by Salford Council’s environmental health department on Friday, October 2, after inspectors discovered vermin in the building on Liverpool Road.
Parents were told the nursery would be closing down for good on Monday, October 5, in an email claiming that ‘due to the recent events and the business struggling’, the owner ‘does not see a way forward without the business being extremely out of pocket’. The manager stated she was ‘devastated’ by the closure.
