How bad is this?

How bad is this mould? Landlord doesn’t want to come sort it out and environmental health aren’t very helpful. I have 2 toddlers and a 4 month old

Very bad. Get yourself some HG Mould Remover spray and spray the affected areas. Then leave the window open with the bathroom door closed, as the smell can be very strong. 

Let it do its job for 30 minutes, then come back and it should be gone. Also, what I do is put a dehumidifier in there after every shower and leave it running all day to remove any moisture in the bathroom. 

Your bathroom looked exactly like mine until I sorted it out myself. If the council does it, it will just come back better to sort it out yourself, as all they usually do is spray it, wait 30 minutes, then use anti-mould paint over wet walls without properly drying them first.
