Hertfordshire Nursery Prosecuted After Toddler Dies from Choking on Sausage The recent announcement by Hertsmere Borough Council to prosecute a Hertfordshire nursery over the choking death of two year old Sadie Salt is a poignant reminder that, despite progress in child safety protocols, the risk remains high for toddlers in group settings.
The case highlights the ongoing struggle to balance the need for caution with the practicalities of operating a child care facility.
Sadie's tragic demise occurred in 2020 while she was eating lunch at Mini Learners nursery in Radlett.
