Thousands of names, addresses and photos of nursery children have been stolen by hackers.
The details of around 8,000 children were accessed by a gang of cyber criminals, who are using the sensitive information to demand a ransom from the Kido nursery chain - which has sites across London, the US and India. The hackers claim to hold information on the children's parents and carers, including safeguarding notes - and say they've contacted some parents to extort them.
