Nursery worker, 45, pleads guilty to 26 serious sexual offences against children
Vincent Chan admitted 26 offences including sexual assault and indecent images after police seized 69 devices revealing a calculated abuse pattern over seven years, authorities said.
- On Wednesday, Vincent Chan, 45, entered guilty pleas at Wood Green Crown Court to 26 offences involving sexual assault of children and indecent images.
- After a nursery colleague reported disturbing footage, police opened an investigation in June last year when a nursery staff whistleblower reported Chan filming a child falling asleep in their food, prompting the Metropolitan Police's complex inquiry.
- Forensic analysis of 69 recovered devices revealed sexual-contact footage on nursery-issued iPads, and investigators identified four young children as victims with some images in the worst abuse category.
- The Bright Horizons branch, West Hampstead has closed and families were informed, with a dedicated NSPCC helpline for the 700 families affected; Chan will be sentenced on January 23rd.
- Bright Horizons said it will cooperate fully and has commissioned external safeguarding reviews, accepting evidence shows failure while Metropolitan Police continue device reviews and families demand answers.
