READ MORE: Nursery worker accused of swaddling baby and strapping her face down on a bean bag prior to her death 'always wanted to work with children' She added that it was 'quite hard' to check on the babies every 10 minutes due to the 'sheer volume of children' there. The court previously heard from another member of staff that she thought the ratio was one staff member to two babies. Ms Roughley said she thought it was one to three.
The court heard of various policies within the nursery, including one about Sleep Guidance, in which staff were ‘not to wake children from their sleep’.
