A 16-month-old toddler has been taken to hospital after she stopped breathing when a blanket in her cot apparently became entangled around her neck.
Staff at Tiddlywinks' City Nursery, Gloucester gave the infant the kiss of life until an ambulance arrived.
In a statement, the nursery said she was in a fully-monitored cot room so staff were able to respond immediately.
On Friday evening the unnamed infant was said to be in a stable condition at Bristol Children's Hospital.
'Investigation launched'
The nursery statement said staff were able to resuscitate her and then the ambulance arrived.
Gloucestershire police have confirmed they have launched an investigation, though crime is not suspected.
Tiddlywinks is one of a group of Gloucester nurseries catering for babies to pre-school children.
It was given a satisfactory rating following a recent inspection by Ofsted.
