A nursery which was found to have put children 'at risk' by leaving them in soiled clothes has closed.
Children were seen during an Ofsted investigation putting magnets in their mouths unsupervised and given dirty sheets to sleep on at a village nursery near Leicester.
Inspectors also found nursery children, as young as four, were not given cutlery for meal times so had to use their hands and were given no drinking water but milk that has been left out.
They were also seen wondering around 'silent and distressed' and 'fell and injured' themselves without staff being aware.
Basic health and safety flaws were also found such as nails sticking out of broken radiator covers and loose electric plug sockets.
