Parents of nine-month-old boy who died after choking pay tribute

The devastated parents of a baby who died after choking at nursery have paid tribute to the 'best baby', after welcoming their second son last month.

Zoe and Lewis Steeper's nine-month-old baby Oliver died six days after he choked at Jelly Beans Day Nursery in Ashford, Kent, in September 2021.

Swimming teacher Zoe, 32, and surveyor Lewis, 37, had a second son, called Jake Oliver Steeper, last month. 

Mr Steeper said recently that the couple were so happy to have been given a second chance at parenthood.

'Oliver was our first, and honestly the best baby you could ever have wished for…he was just perfect,' he said.
