Baby died after she was strapped face down to a bean bag at nursery, court told

The resulting distressed cries of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan , known to her family as Gigi, were “simply ignored”, the jury was told yesterday.

Kate Roughley, 37 , is accused of the manslaughter by ill treatment of the baby while in her care at the Tiny Toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, on 9 May 2022.

Manchester crown court heard that Roughley, a qualified nursery nurse and early years practitioner with 17 years of experience, was the duty baby room leader and in charge of sleep arrangements that day.
