AN investigation has been launched after three children who attended the same nursery school suffered broken bones, police said today.

One of the children, a young boy who attended the Rocking Horse Nursery in Plumtree, Nottinghamshire, suffered a broken leg.

The nursery has since had its operating licence suspended for six weeks by the education watchdog Ofsted.

A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said all three children were aged between one and two.

A spokeswoman for the nursery said: “The directors have not been informed that there is any evidence to suggest that any alleged injury was sustained while the child was in the care of the nursery.

“The directors and all the staff are co-operating fully with the investigation.”
