Two Children Leave Creche Unnoticed

Two toddlers were found on a patch of grass outside a creche in south Dublin yesterday after they had managed to leave the building by themselves.

The Giraffe creche in Belarmire, Stepaside, confirmed that two children had managed to leave the building by themselves, saying a delivery man had left a door open.

An employee of the creche eventually noticed that the children were missing and found them sitting on a patch of grass outside the facility.

It is not known how long the children were outside for.
