Emergency services respond to reports of concern for a child at Cosy Toes Nursery in Middleton, with the boy, aged three, taken to hospital and reported to be in critical condition. Police say the call came in around 3.49–3.50pm on Monday, November 2.
Multiple outlets report a large emergency services presence at the scene, including police vehicles, an ambulance, rapid response paramedics, and an air ambulance landing nearby. Greater Manchester Police state enquiries are ongoing and that the family is aware.
The coverage largely aligns on the incident location, the child’s age, the fact a medical emergency occurred, and that the boy is in hospital. Metro includes additional operational detail about the number and types of vehicles present and describes the nursery’s place within a small chain offering daycare for children up to five years old. The Mirror and Manchester Evening News lead with the air ambulance element.
