A mum has claimed her six-year-old daughter was able to walk out of a holiday club and wander the streets alone.
The schoolgirl was found walking along a street after reportedly leaving a day care centre unaccompanied.
Police were called out to assist the child and take her back to the club this morning after a passer-by raised the alarm.
Her mum took to a private Facebook group today to inform other parents about the breach.
She also thanked the good Samaritan who stopped to help her daughter after spotting her on the Wirral street.
The Merseyside mum claimed the girl had walked out of a club at Liscard Primary School in Wallasey.
While it is based in the school, the club is run by Premier Education Group, a private provider, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Posting in the Wallasey Gossip group, the mum said: "Would just like to thank the lady who found my six year old daughter on Manor Road this morning."
She added: "If anyone could put me in touch with the lady I'd be eternally grateful."
The mum's post sparked dozens of comments.
One person said: "Omg this is awful. I hope she's okay and not too distressed. Well done to the lady who found her xx"
Merseyside Police has confirmed they located a little girl along Manor Road and she was later returned to a nearby holiday club.
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "Two officers on patrol located a little girl on Manor Road this morning.
"She was returned to holiday club and is safe and well."
Mirror Online has attempted to contact Premier Education Group for comment.
