A nursery has been ordered to shut down temporarily amid concerns over children's safety.

Education watchdog Ofsted says Bright Horizons Crouch End Fields Day Nursery was suspended last Friday (February 24) due to “concerns over their ability to keep children safe.”

One parent said to the Ham&High they believe there was a “serious incident”.

A spokesperson said: “We are looking into these concerns and will keep the suspension under review. We are unable to provide any further comment at this stage.”

The nursery responded: "We can confirm that our regulator has instructed Crouch End Fields nursery to close temporarily.

“We are working closely with them to resolve this situation as quickly as possible and cannot disclose any further details at this time.

“The safety and wellbeing of children in our care remains our number one priority.”
