A male worker from Little Stars Nursery in Nechells, Birmingham has been arrested on suspicion of child abuse. The 20-year-old from Nechells was taken into custody in the early hours of yesterday morning, West Midlands Police said today.
He was employed as an assistant at the Little Stars Nursery which was closed today 'as a precaution'.
Superintendent Matt Ward said the man, who has worked at the nursery for 18 months, was arrested after a warrant was executed at his home for an unrelated matter.
Speaking to reporters at West Midlands Police headquarters in Birmingham, he said: 'As a result of that unrelated warrant being executed we recovered material which, when it was forensically examined, led us to believe a series of serious sexual offences against a child had taken place at the Little Stars Nursery.'
