The manager of a Scots nursery where a baby boy choked to death has been convicted of failing to ensure children were adequately monitored during mealtimes.

Miranda Anderson was found guilty on Thursday after a trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in the wake of the tragic death of ten-month-old Fox Goulding.

The 48-year-old was in charge at the city’s Bright Horizons Corstorphine Nursery when Fox fatally choked on a piece of mango.Anderson denied the charge and the court previously heard how she’d warned her bosses about staffing levels at the facility.

The Bright Horizons chain was fined £800,000 in January after admitting it failed to provide nursery employees with suitable instruction and supervision to adequately control the risk of choking when youngsters ate.
