Three-year-old found alone in street after walking out of Exmouth nursery
A mother from Exmouth is demanding answers after her son was found crying alone on a street when he should have been at nursery.
On his first day three-year-old Jack Hardiman walked out of Marpool Nursery and Primary School without staff noticing.
A shortly while later he was seen in tears not far from a busy main road, asking where his mum was and saying he wanted to go home. A member of the public spotted him and returned him safely to the nursery.
Jack's mum, Cassandra, claims the school tried to play down the incident and suggested Jack wear a hi-vis vest so staff can spot him in the future.
She says she will not send him back and will lodge a complaint with the governors.
The school has apologised for the incident and says it's reviewing security.
