Police confirmed the boy's death is being treated suspicious.

The Bourne Street nursery, which has not been named, has been closed by Ofsted since the tragedy.

A post-mortem has taken place but further tests will be carried out to establish the boy's cause of death.

"The criminal investigation was launched following a visit by Ofsted after the boy’s death.

"The nursery, in Bourne Street, Dudley, has been closed by Ofsted along with other linked premises.

"The family of the baby boy is being supported by specially trained officers."
