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 facing years behind bars for molesting girls aged three and four while working at the Bright Horizons nursery in Finchley Road, West Hampstead.

Chan filmed himself carrying out the abuse, during naptime at the nursery, and also confessed to downloading thousands of indecent images of children.

Today (Thursday 29th January 2026) at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court, Chan appeared via videolink from HMP Pentonville to face 30 new charges.

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

Because of his guilty pleas, Chan has now admitted filming up the skirts of children as they sat at tables in a classroom.

Police also recovered images showing Chan exposing himself in a classroom in 2017, as well as videos, believed to be of Chan, depicting a solo sex act.

He has also admitted a campaign of voyeurism between 2011 and 2023.

Chan will be sentenced on February 12 for all 56 offences that he has now admitted.
