Photo NZ HeraldThe two toddlers most seriously hurt when a tree toppled at an Auckland daycare last Tuesday are expected to be discharged on Monday. Parents of four children were told their children had been hurt when the tree toppled into a playground crowded with 25 of the 47 or 48 children enrolled at the daycare. A manager at the daycare, which employs about 10 staff, travelled to hospital with the injured children, while ambulance crews inside checked all children who were outside when the tree fell. Discoveries Educare owner Ajit Singh said he was shocked by the incident, and hadn't been aware of any previous concerns about the tree.
