Girl, 2, fractures skull and eye socket after fall during nursery trip in Cornwall

Girl, 2, fractures skull and eye socket after fall during nursery trip in Cornwall WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT - Kimberley discovered her daughter Amethyst had fallen two metres off a bandstand onto a concrete wall at Little Explorers PZ LTD in Penzance, Cornwall A heartbroken mother has vowed never to return her two-year-old daughter to her nursery following an accident which left the toddler with a concussion and fractures to her forehead and eye socket. Kimberley says she received a call from Little Explorers PZ LTD in Penzance, Cornwall - not connected to Little Explorers Cornwall LTD, at Grampound Road - on Tuesday. She claims she was informed that her daughter had suffered a "bump" and a "graze" following a "fall at the park", only to discover that her little girl, Amethyst, had actually plunged two metres off a bandstand onto a concrete wall. Kimberley said: "I had a missed call and I didn't recognise the number so didn't answer it and I had a message from the nursery saying [she] had a fall and they had been trying to contact me. They told me she had a bump and a graze." She immediately left work and arrived at the nursery on Queen Street in Penzance roughly 35 minutes later. Speaking to our sister title Cornwall Live, the mum said: "I got there expecting just a bump and a graze, but after a head injury, I was taking her to the hospital anyway. "The lights were out and she was sleeping. I turned the light on, her face was all swollen, she had a split lip and a black eye already. I kind of went into shock and there are some things I don't know, I can't remember. "I was in panic mode and packing her stuff up and getting ready to take her to the hospital. The manager told me they would take me to the hospital and I remember thinking that I had to come past the hospital to get to my daughter and they should have already taken her." Recalling the terrifying ordeal, Kimberley said: "She wouldn't stay awake. We got seen straight away and sent for a CT scan immediately, so we got bluelighted to Treliske [Royal Cornwall Hospital]. She has a fractured skull and eye socket and had a concussion on admission." Kimberley stressed that it wasn't the accident itself that had left her reeling, but rather the way it was handled afterwards. She continued: "I had to ask them on the phone 'did you say she was sleeping?' I said she just had a head injury, wake her up and keep her awake until I'm there." The mother-of-three revealed that the incident, a two-metre fall over the railings and off the bandstand at Morrab Gardens in Penzance, was captured on CCTV. Shockingly, it is said her daughter was wheeled back to the nursery in her pram and allowed to sleep. Kimberley and her partner have since been advised by police not to view the footage due to its distressing nature. She is currently unable to work as Amethyst is now without a nursery place, and she harbours serious concerns about the childcare provider's future, given the absence of prompt medical attention following her daughter's fall and how she feels the severity of what happened was downplayed on the phone to her. In the wake of the incident, Little Explorers PZ LTD has been suspended from providing childcare by Ofsted due to a potential risk of harm to other children. In a letter sent to parents using the childcare provider, which opened in September of last year according to social media posts, Ofsted states: "We have suspended the registration because we reasonably believe that the continued provision of childcare may expose children to a risk of harm. "The purpose of the suspension is to allow time for enquiries to be made and/or for steps to be taken to eliminate or reduce any risk of harm. "Little Explorers PZ Ltd must not act as a registered childcare provider while suspended. It is an offence for a person registered on the Early Years Register or the compulsory part of the Childcare Register to provide childcare which requires registration, while suspended." The government department confirmed it was unable to share any further details regarding the suspension beyond those outlined in the letter. "Suspension is a temporary measure," the letter continued. "We will review the situation regularly and will lift the suspension as soon as we are satisfied that children are not at risk. "We will write to you if we lift the suspension and Little Explorers PZ Ltd can resume providing registered childcare. We will also write to you if we are unable to complete our enquiries and/or take steps to eliminate or reduce any risk of harm within this initial suspension period and we impose a further period of suspension." A hospital discharge summary for Amethyst listed her numerous injuries, including a black eye, bruising, swelling, dried blood and a skull fracture on the left frontal bone extending into her eye socket. A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We have conducted a safeguarding enquiry in relation to a report about a childcare provider in Penzance. "Officers worked closely with our statutory partners. At this time, no criminal offences have been identified but should further information be reported, it will be reviewed and progressed accordingly." Little Explorers PZ LTD has been approached for comment but has not yet responded.
