Sarah Jones Morris from Bridgnorth says she was left "mortified" when a young boy in her care fell on the way to school.

The 51-year-old from Dunval Road said they were walking up nearby Queensway Drive when he fell on the uneven surface.

She said: "It was two weeks before his sixth birthday and we were heading to school when he tripped on an uneven drain cover.

"I was mortified. I had to rush him to the minor injuries unit, which I am so grateful that we have in Bridgnorth."
