Bright Horizons

Bright Horizons is a nursery chain, and its West Hampstead, north London branch is at the center of a scandal involving former worker Vincent Chan. Chan has pleaded guilty to multiple offenses, including sexually assaulting toddlers and filming up girls' skirts. These offenses occurred between 2022 and 2024. The news is focused on the legal action being taken by families of the victims against the nursery, alleging a culture of ignoring concerns. Parents are demanding answers about how Chan passed vetting procedures and why safeguarding systems failed. The government has vowed to improve child safety protocols in response to the scandal. The case highlights significant failures in child protection and raises serious questions about the nursery's oversight and response to potential warning signs prior to Chan's arrest in June 2024.
