Paul Wilson, who worked at Little Stars Nursery for 18 months, appeared before Birmingham magistrates court last Friday after being arrested at his home address on Wednesday morning on suspicion of child abuse. He was remanded in custody and will appear before the court again on 14 January.
According to press reports, Mr Wilson was arrested after a warrant was executed at his home in the Nechells part of the city on an unrelated matter. A computer and other items were seized.
