A 10-month-old tot was left with second degree burns and may be 'scarred for life' after boiling water and bleach poured over him at a Scots nursery- while staff didn't call an ambulance.

Little Blake Nilssen suffered toppled an unattended cleaning bucket while trying to stand up at the Little Dreams Nursery in Aberdeen.His suffering worsened after staff covered him in paper towels and when they removed them it ripped off blisters that started to form.The tot was also denied treatment for an hour because staff waited for parents to collect him instead of calling for an ambulance.Care Inspectorate bosses upheld multiple complaints against the nursery and ordered immediate changes after the incident on November 4 in the 'baby room'.Mum Ellie Johnson has called for the nursery to be closed as she revealed she is now considering legal action.The 27-year-old said: “Blake faces being scarred for life and now we have a constant fear of knowing who to trust to take care of our son in the future.“Little Dreams Nursery should be closed.

This is utterly indefensible.”He was attending the nursery since April three days per week at a cost of £52 per day.Ellie, who runs her own beauty business, dropped Blake off at 9.30am but at 3.45pm was told to collect her son as he “managed to tip a bucket of water on himself”.Ellie, from Aberdeen, said: “They said the water had a bit of bleach in it but that was it.“There was no urgency in their voice and they didn’t say the water was boiling.”Ellie and partner Daryl Nilssen, a 31-year-old offshore worker, only realised things were serious on arrival at the nursery.The mum continued: “We opened the door and heard the most horrific screaming.“It was chilling.
