'We warned nursery about abuser Vincent Chan - they dismissed us,' parents tell BBC
"Vincent Chan, who worked at Bright Horizons, in north-west London, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after admitting 56 sexual offences, including abusing children at the nursery. Chan first came to the attention of staff for filming children at the nursery, in Finchley Road, West Hampstead, in May 2024. However, the parents say they warned the nursery about his behaviour months earlier."
"When police investigated, officers found 'deeply disturbing material' on his devices. They later found video evidence of children at the nursery being sexually abused by Chan, some of which had been filmed by him on nursery iPads. Bright Horizons, which has nurseries across the UK, said it takes parents' concerns seriously, adding: 'Keeping children safe is our most important responsibility. Vincent Chan broke that trust.' The nursery has since closed."
"They had a son and daughter at the nursery and both were taught by Chan. The couple say they first raised concerns when their son began coming home from nursery with bruises and bite marks, but say they were ignored. They say they have since had to look through images of Chan sexually abusing girls to establish whether their daughter was one of the victims."

Staff first noticed him filming children in May 2024, though parents say they raised concerns months earlier after a son began showing rage, refusing nursery and returning with bruises and bite marks. Police found 'deeply disturbing material' on Chan's devices and video evidence of children being sexually abused, some filmed on nursery iPads. The nursery has closed and Bright Horizons said Chan broke parents' trust.
