Deputy manager Kate Roughley is accused of the manslaughter of Genevieve, who she cared for at Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme. The case is being tried at Manchester Crown Court.
After the pathologist who carried out Geneveive’s post mortem gave evidence earlier in the week, the jury has now heard from nursery practitioner Megan Goldsby who had worked at Tiny Toes since 2018.
Martin Reid KC, prosecuting, asked her to summarise her view on how the nursery operated.

Goldsby explained that at first the nursery followed ratios of one staff member to three children, but then it ‘gradually got worse’.
