" While I'm pleased our employees will be spared The stress of appearing as witnesses, in one sense I'm also disappointed, as The Court case would have been extremely revealing and I'm utterly confident we would have prevailed.
" Despite this vindication, it has been deeply upsetting to have spent Almost 18 months and tens of thousands of pounds defending our small nursery against their false claims. "
A statement issued on behalf of Ms El-Nakla and Mr Yousaf said The legal proceedings were halted following discussions with Sword Nursery Ltd, The Firm that owns The nursery.
The couple's legal representative, solicitor Aamer Anwar , said: " They only ever wanted The nursery to accept The findings of The Independent Care Inspectorate investigation and for The nursery to make changes.
" The nursery owner's may wish to say that they were prepared 100% to go to court, but This Was a joint agreement reached and on their acknowledgement of The findings of an independent investigation and implementing The necessary changes in full. "
He added: " Nadia believes that as A Mother she was justified in raising this legal action, she felt deeply hurt and hopes that as a result real change will take place. "
Following The Initial concerns from Mr Yousaf and his wife, submitted applications with identical requirements to The nursery under The Names Aqsa Akhtar and Susan Blake.
The newspaper said that Aqsa Akhtar had her application rejected, but Susan Blake's was accepted and offered spaces.
Ms El-Nakla said she had emailed nursery bosses in May 2021, asking if there were any available places.
The couple alleged they were told there were " no available spaces in The nursery" - The Second time they said they had been turned down.
But they claimed that Two Days later when a white friend asked if there were spaces for her two-year-old son, The nursery told her places were available on three afternoons a week.
