A major investigation has been launched amid fears that multiple children have been sexually assaulted at a nursery.
Detectives confirmed they have contacted more than 100 families after a teenage male worker at the Jack and Jill Nursery was arrested and bailed.
Over 250 hours of CCTV has already been reviewed with potential victims from aged two upwards.
A multi-agency team involving police, NHS and education experts has been set up investigate the shocking allegations, Mirror Online reports.
Detective Chief Inspector James Stock revealed the first complaint involving youngsters at the child care centre in Torquay was received in July.
He said: "As part of this, over 250 hours of CCTV from within Jack and Jill Childcare have been reviewed.
"As a result of CCTV enquires, a number of children aged 2+ have been identified as potential victims of contact offences.
"We have now contacted all parents and guardians of children who attended Jack and Jill Childcare in relation to our investigation."
The suspect has moved away from the area after being granted bail until November 22.
DCI Stock explained that specialist support is being given to the children and their families.
He added: "Specialist officers from the Public Protection Unit and our colleagues from social services have visited the parents and guardians of those children we believe may be victims.
"They will continue to receive multi-agency support in the coming days, weeks and months.
"The contact appears to be limited to within the nursery setting and we do not believe that any other member of staff had knowledge of these matters.
"These appear to be the actions of a lone individual and the offences do not involve the taking or distributing of any images."
In the months since the arrest Ofsted has suspended the nursery's licence while investigations are carried out.
The education standards body carried out an unannounced visit in August to check safeguarding "particularly with regards to allegations made against a member of staff".
At that time Ofsted was satisfied that actions were taken.
It later carried out a second unannounced visit in October and found that Jack and Jill was not complying with welfare requirements and a legal notice was served requiring urgent changes.
A helpline has been set up by the Torbay Safeguarding Children's Partnership and is hosted by the Local Authority for anyone who may have concerns relating to this case.
