Roksana Lecka was jailed for eight years last September after admitting seven counts of cruelty to a person under the age of 16, and was convicted after a trial of another 14 counts
A twisted nursery nurse who abused 21 babies is due to be deported to Poland this week.
The victims of the children attacked by Roksana Lecka fear the yob will still “harm many more children” even after she is booted out of the UK. She was jailed for eight years last September after admitting seven counts of cruelty to a person under the age of 16, and was convicted after a trial of another 14 counts.
The court heard Lecka, now aged 23, “pinched, slapped, punched, smacked and kicked” defenceless children, and “pulled their ears, hair and their toes”, also toppling them “headfirst into cots”. The abuse happened at Twickenham Green Nursery, which has since closed, and left parents of the babies harmed and other children at the centre horrified.
They are unconvinced Lecka will stop harming children even if she is sent back to Poland where, once she arrives, her treatment will be a matter for Polish authorities.

Munira Wilson, Liberal Democrat MP for Twickenham, this week told the Commons “clear communication and transparency is key” in child abuse cases. She said: “Yet the parents of the 21 babies abused by Roksana Lecka at Twickenham Green Nursery were given less than a week’s notice that she would be deported to Poland this Thursday.
“They have been given no information about whether Lecka will continue to serve the rest of her eight-year sentence or whether she will walk free after just four months in a UK prison. They fear, if left unsupervised, she will harm many more children. So, can the minister tell the House what the release terms are for Lecka, because those parents deserve answers.”
On one occasion, evil Lecka, who came to the UK from Poland aged three and was a bartender before working in childcare, kicked a little boy four times in the face before stepping on his shoulder and kicking him in the face again.
When her crimes were discovered in June 2024, Lecka was sent home and suspended before the criminal investigation began. During her court hearing, Lecka, of Hounslow, west London, claimed she had no memory of the violence — due to her cannabis use.
Responding to Ms Wilson’s concerns, victims minister Alex Davies-Jones said she wanted to send “thoughts and sympathies to all of the victims of these most heinous crimes”.
She said: “Child abuse is one of the most heinous crimes and it is right that we have the correct support services available for child victims.
“The sentencing minister (Jake Richards) is meeting with colleagues in the Home Office today to discuss the needs of this case, and I will ensure that she gets the full update as requested on the specifics.”
British police are thought to be making efforts to contact Polish authorities, to make them aware of Lecka’s offending history. A Home Office spokesperson declined to comment on the case, but said: “We will not allow foreign criminals and illegal migrants to exploit our laws.
“We are reforming human rights laws and replacing the broken appeals system so we can scale up deportations. All foreign national offenders who receive a prison sentence in the UK are referred for deportation at the earliest opportunity.”
