NSW childcare centre closed for six months after boy suffers thigh fracture

The boy was hurt while trying to jump over a bench at the childcare centre.

Staff applied ice and called his mother, but the centre’s report says they did not contact medical workers or report the incident to authorities.

Doctors found a serious fracture, and the child needed emergency surgery and a full leg cast.

Regulators closed the centre for six months because of safety and other compliance problems.
