A nursery worker accused of abusing 24 babies left children crying and 'writhing around' in pain after repeatedly pinching, punching and grabbing them, a court heard today.
Roksana Lecka, 22, is accused of 'badly harming' 23 of the infants, aged 18 months to two years, while she worked at a £1,900-a-month Montessori nursery in Twickenham, west London, between January 31 and June 28 last year.
Oh, if only there’d been some clue, maybe something on her social media that’s going to indicate to employers that she’s an incorrigible narcissistic person who probably has little interest in child nurturing, no matter what bullshit she’s put on her CV?
You know, like the ‘Mail’ managed to find for this article?
Opening the case against Lecka, prosecutor Tracy Ayling KC told jurors that the defendant started working at the Montessori nursery on January 31 2024 and that there were 'no apparent safeguarding concerns'. Lecka was someone who 'came across as somebody who would work hard and interact well with the children', she said.
There were, actually, Tracy, but no one appears to have recognised them for what they were….
The trial, expected to last up to five weeks, continues.
Five weeks?!?

‘72 out of more than 150 councils responded to FOI requests with figures indicating there had been 5,795 reports or allegations of children being harmed by nursery workers, over a five-year period between 2019 and 2024. (BBC Panorama: 6 Apr 2025)
Even allowing for some allegations being unfounded, I can’t help wondering what the reaction would be if, say, a popular make of toy/car seat/high chair/cot or a common parenting practice were associated with thousands of children coming to harm.
Quite! There'd be demands to sue the manufactuer.
