Should We Remove Cherry Laurel

Hello, I hope you can help me!

We recently moved into quite a large, completely bare garden (apart from turf). The soil is really clay-ey and we wanted to get something fast growing up for a bit of privacy for pretty cheap as money is quite tight following the move!

Because of this we planted some cherry laurel that I got for a great price at the weekend but I have just found out they can be poisonous. As we have a baby who will soon be exploring the garden, should we get rid of the laurel?
I don't want to be constantly on edge in the garden if it is really poisonous.

Thanks! We are COMPLETE garden novices and so I am
Learning a lot from this section! Smile

The RHS website says, on the toxicity of cherry laurel, 'fruit may cause severe discomfort if ingested'. So, it isn't deadly. Your call.
