Nursery owner denies health and safety failures leading to a toddler's death.
A nursery worker previously admitted to gross negligence manslaughter.

A trial date has been scheduled for April 16 at Wolverhampton Crown Court. This legal proceeding is connected to the tragic death of a 14-month-old boy, Noah Sibanda, following an incident at the Fairytales Day Nursery in Dudley on December 9, 2022.

The nursery's owner, Deborah Latewood, has pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to ensure the safety of children. The company running the nursery also faces a corporate manslaughter charge, to which it has pleaded not guilty. Allegations include failures in safe sleep procedures and staff supervision.

These charges stem from an alleged failure to ensure safe sleep methods for babies, inadequate staff training, and insufficient supervision in the baby room. Another nursery worker has already pleaded guilty to gross negligence manslaughter and awaits sentencing.
