Two more cases have since been confirmed, but three of the children have been discharged from hospital, while the fourth is receiving treatment.

Grainne Nixon, a nurse consultant in health protection at Public Health England, said investigations were ongoing, adding: “All staff and children at the nursery have now been screened for the infection as a precautionary measure and those children with negative faecal samples have been returning to the nursery.”
