Mother sues nursery after staff spilt chicken fat on son Miss Brewster withdrew her son from Kids Academy in Leeds, West Yorkshire, immediately but was sent a £634 bill for failing to give the required notice. Harrison suffered second degree burns on his right leg above the knee and a subsequent infection, which meant he had to stay in hospital for three days. He has been left with a large scar and was under the care of a plastic surgeon for six months after the incident, which took place on July 24 last year. Miss Brewster added: "The next day the burned area was badly blistered so I took him to A&E and he had to have the blisters syringed and the wound area cleaned. He was really brave, but it was absolutely awful to see him in so much pain and discomfort. The family has been awarded a five figure sum after the nursery's insurers admitted liability. A mum has told of her fury after a nursery worker tripped and spilt hot chicken fat on her son's leg leaving him with second-degree burns (Ross Parry) Chris Baxendale, of Fenton's Solicitors LLP, who represented the family, said: "This was a scary ordeal, both for Harrison and his mum as well. The injury he sustained was really quite severe, and Katie's shock, upset and outrage was entirely understandable. The nursery's own prospectus points out the danger presented by adults carrying hot drinks, yet they failed to apply the same standards to fluids from hot food. The fact that the hot chicken was even being carried in the nursery area was in itself an act of negligence. Miss Harrison said her son was now back and enjoying school. A spokeswoman for Kids Academy said: "Harrison's parents and Ofsted were immediately notified of the incident. We cooperated fully with an Ofsted investigation. They concluded Kids Academy met all of its legal requirements and no further action was recommended. A copy of their report was sent to Ms Brewster. Harrison received compensation for his injury which the court has approved. Everyone at the nursery wishes Harrison and his family well for the future. After admitting liability for the incident and giving Harrison a five-figure compensation sum, a spokesperson for the nursery said she disputed the claimthat Miss Brewster was given a false explanation but refused to be drawn on their version of events
