A 23-year-old nursery worker has been sentenced to more than three years in prison following the death of 14-month-old Noah Sibanda at a day care facility in Dudley, West Midlands.

Noah died after being wrapped tightly in a camping sleeping bag and placed face down to sleep in an indoor teepee during nap time at Fairytales Day Nursery, a court heard during proceedings.

The sentencing hearing involved the nursery worker, the nursery's owner, and the facility itself in connection with the child's death. The case was heard at a court in the West Midlands.

The incident occurred during what was intended to be a routine nap period at the nursery. Court proceedings revealed details about the circumstances that led to Noah's death, including the use of inappropriate sleeping arrangements.

The sentencing represents the conclusion of legal proceedings that examined the care provided at the nursery and the specific actions that resulted in the toddler's death. The case has highlighted concerns about childcare safety protocols and supervision standards at nursery facilities.
