Madonna is moving her new daughter, Mercy James, into her private lodge in Malawi while final plans are put in place to move the child from the country, according to reports.

The singer has apparently despatched her nanny and a nurse to take care of the child at the property in Lilongwee.

According to The Sun newspaper, Mercy will join Madonna's other children – Lourdes, Rocco and David – in the US once her visa application is ratified.

Madonna won her Supreme Court appeal to adopt the four-year-old on Friday.

Appeal judges overturned an earlier ruling by a lower court which said the singer did not qualify to adopt the child.
