A paedophile nursery worker from North London has admitted a series of new charges, including filming up the skirts of girls as they sat in a classroom.

Vincent Chan, 45, is already facing years behind bars for molesting girls aged three to four whilst working at Bright Horizons nursery on Finchley Road, West Hampstead.

Chan filmed himself committing the offences during naptime at the nursery, and admitted to downloading thousands of indecent images of children.

On Thursday, Chan appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrate’s Court, via videolink from HMP Pentonville, to face 26 new charges.

He pleaded guilty to 10 counts of taking indecent photographs of children, six charges of outraging public decency, sexual assault on a female, and nine counts of voyeurism.

He also admitted to filming up the skirts of girls whilst they were sat at tables in the classroom.

Police had further uncovered images which showed Chan exposing himself in a classroom in 2017, and videos, believed to be of Chan, depicting a solo sexual act.

Chan worked at Bright Horizons nursery for seven years until his suspension in 2024, following concerns raised by a colleague about his activities with the children.

He will be sentenced on 12 February for all 52 offences that he has now admitted.
