When parents drop their children off at nursery, the last thing they expect is for their little ones to come to any harm.
But one mother was left distressed after picking her young daughter up from a day at nursery to find that part of her head had been shaved.
According to mum Julie Muir, her daughter had been given an electric razor to play with!
The distraught mother wrote on her Facebook wall: "Look what happened to my baby at nursery! I collected her on Tuesday to find another child had shaved her head.
"And how did they come to have shavers? Well, one of the teachers thought it would enhance their play and brought in her own from home, which still had power! Apparently they risk assessed this as safe to play with for under fours."
The post has since been shared over 6, 777 times as parents expressed their outrage over the incident.

One Facebook user fumed: "OMG! Can't believe this happened at nursery. What was the teacher thinking?! Let's hope Ofsted close them down. How on earth do they deem a beard trimmer safe for small children to play with? I think legal action -- sue the ass off them."
Another wrote: "This is disgraceful, they should be closed down!"
A spokesperson issued a statement to the Huffington Post following the complaints.
It read: "We have apologised profusely and fully accept that what happened was wrong. We are taking the issue extremely seriously and a member of staff has been suspended as a result.
“As soon as the incident took place we informed all of the relevant authorities and we continue to work closely with them. We are reviewing our risk assessment procedures and every member of staff will be undertaking comprehensive additional training.
“The nursery is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The health, safety and wellbeing of the children we care for is always our top priority."
