A 22-year-old nursery worker has admitted manslaughter after a 14-month old baby died in her care.
Kimberley Cookson pleaded guilty to one count of gross negligence manslaughter following the death of Noah Sibanda, who died after an incident at Dudley's Fairytales Day Nursery on December 9, 2022.
The youngster, who had not yet learned how to properly walk, was rushed to hospital but all attempts to save him were futile.
His mother Masi Sibanda, 31, described him as a 'handsome, beautiful, cute boy' who was very 'lovable' and always smiling.
'I know parents are biased, but he was so beautiful,' she said in a heartfelt tribute following his death.
