Notice period when you suspect neglect

Hello all,

I'm not a parent but I need some advise for a dear friend. She has a child in nursery and she believes that the nursery is not feeding her child! There are various other instances of dubious practises. At first I was a little sceptical, but having looked at the footage she has of her child clearly not being given food with the rest of the children, I am concerned. Our friend is from another country so although her English is pretty good, she lacks the confidence and knowledge of online forums such as this.
She wants to change nurseries but they say she must give two months notice- surely this isn't correct if you suspect neglectful treatment?
I have told her to contact OFSTED and make a complaint, but in the meantime surely it can't be right that she has to endure this?
Any advise would be very welcome indeed!

If your friend seriously suspects neglect she has a duty to her children to remove them immediately but she should bring her worries up with the manager too.
