Nursery nurse Lyndsay Harrison told the court she was so concerned about two incidents on the same day in July 2012 at York College Nursery, that she took two ropes off the slide and put them away out of children’s reach.
She went on to tell the jury at Leeds Crown Court that when she returned to work after a summer break on 17 September 2012, the day the incident took place, she saw a similar rope attached to the slide.
