Two children are in hospital after a suspected E. coli outbreak at a nursery in Cheshire.

Public health officers said the children, who both go to the Chrysalis Day Nursery in Northwich, were being treated at Leighton Hospital due to “complications.”

In total, seven children and three family members had shown symptoms of the infection, the officers added.

Children and staff at the nursery are being screened as a precaution.
