Creche to let parents view CCTV after firm sees footage

One of the creches under the microscope for alleged physical abuse of children has told parents they will only be able to view footage from newly installed CCTV cameras once their management has examined it.

Giraffe in Belarmine, Stepaside in Dublin, was one of three childcare centres in which children were found to be mistreated in an RTÉ TV probe last May.

After meeting with parents shortly after the undercover TV investigation, Girafffe management vowed to introduce measures to raise standards, including the installation of cameras across its 21 centres.
