• CCTV from two nurseries showed repeated assaults, including pinching under clothing, pushing babies over cots, covering a toddler’s mouth, and kicking a boy in the face.
• Police reviewed more than 300 hours of footage in 10 days and arrested her on July 5, 2024, after staff raised concerns in June.
• The abuse occurred between October 2023 and June 2024, largely at Riverside Nursery in Twickenham, which has since closed, as parents report lasting trauma and pursue civil action alongside calls for tougher inspections and routine CCTV checks.
