Nursery worker imprisoned for harming children after death of infant in her custody.

Rebecca Gregory, a 25-year-old nursery worker, has been sentenced to three years in prison for her cruel and abusive actions towards the children in her care. She pleaded guilty to four counts of child cruelty while working at Tiny Toes Children's Day Nursery in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

The investigation into Gregory's actions began after the tragic death of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, who was killed by Gregory's colleague, Kate Roughley. CCTV footage revealed that Gregory had also been mistreating other children at the nursery, leading to her arrest.

The footage showed Gregory manhandling and verbally abusing the young children in her care. In one instance, she tightly swaddled a child and prevented him from moving, causing distress. On another occasion, she told a child to "f***ing go home" while swaddling them tightly. The footage also captured Gregory pushing a child's head down, thrusting another onto the floor, and threatening to kick one in the head.

Detective Constable Natalie Pettit, who worked on the case, stated that Gregory's actions were "callous" and lacked compassion. She failed to meet the proper standards and responsibilities of caring for young children. The investigation also uncovered a culture of not challenging inappropriate behavior at the nursery, which put several children at risk of harm.

The Crown Prosecution Service's specialist prosecutor, Karen Tongue, expressed shock and sadness at the "truly appalling" way Gregory spoke to the children. She emphasized the importance of parents being able to trust their child's caregivers and how cases like this damage that trust.

In the end, Gregory was held accountable for her actions and will now face the consequences of her mistreatment towards innocent children. The hope is that this case serves as a reminder to always prioritize the safety and well-being of children in any caregiving setting.
