Zelda de Groen (pictured), 24, claims she was told during an interview at
Gan Menachem Nursery in North London co-habiting or having children outside of
marriage would ‘not be tolerated’ at her workplace. Miss de Groen – who has
since married her boyfriend – is now suing her former employers for more than
£20,600 in compensation. The nursery, which caters for children aged under
eight, was described as ‘ultra-orthodox’ during a hearing at Watford Employment
Tribunal in Hertfordshire. Miss de Groen grew up in a strict Jewish family in
Stamford Hill, north-east London, but left ‘after many years of significant
discontent’.Mail.
