"If this conduct occurred, it is unacceptable we do not encourage or condone violence in any form. Likewise, if staff were informed of concerns and did not manage them appropriately this is not acceptable and not in line with what we require from our nursery teams. At the moment our information on this matter is limited. Relevant individuals who managed the nursery during the course of Chan's employment are no longer employed by us"
"Chan worked at a north London branch of the Bright Horizons nursery chain from 2017 until his arrest in June 2024. He pleaded guilty on Wednesday to 26 offences including sexual assaults against girls aged two to four who were in his care, some carried out as children slept and some of which were filmed. Parents have said they are sickened and through their lawyer have told of concerns they had about Chan which they said were not taken seriously."
Parents reported concerns about nursery worker Vincent Chan that they say were not acted on before his arrest. Chan worked at a north London Bright Horizons nursery from 2017 until his June 2024 arrest. He pleaded guilty to 26 offences including sexual assaults against girls aged two to four, with some assaults carried out while children slept and some filmed. Parents reported children returning with bite marks, cuts and scratches and alleged boys were encouraged to fight and toddlers were shouted at. Bright Horizons said such conduct would be unacceptable and a child safeguarding review will examine detection and provide answers. The government vowed to improve child safety.
