Nursery ignored warnings about child abuser
A former colleague says a paedophile nursery worker who abused five boys could have been stopped months earlier. Managers at Bristol's Partou King Street Nursery were informed by Bessie Martin of Nathan Bennett's conduct, but her worries were ignored. Bennett was jailed for 30 years in February, and Partou has since faced increased safeguarding inspections.
