A nursery worker has been charged with sexual offences against a child.
Paul Wilson, 20, of Nechells, Birmingham, a member of staff at the Little Stars Nursery in Nechells, was arrested early on Wednesday.
The Crown Prosecution Service said he has been charged with two offences against a child under 13 years, between 1 January 2009 and 30 July 2010.
Mr Wilson is due to appear before Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Friday.

A nursery assistant was last night charged with raping a toddler at his workplace.
Paul Wilson, 20, was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday when officers arrived at his home to execute a search warrant.

Wilson lives less than a mile from the nursery, in Nechells, Birmingham, with his mother, Barbara, 50. Locals said she ran a playgroup in the area.
Police specialists were waiting at the site, in a deprived inner-city district, from 7am yesterday to break the news of the arrest to parents.
Superintendent Matt Ward said the parents were ‘clearly very angry, shocked and wanted to understand what has gone on and what will happen in the future’.
He said a major investigation was still in its early stages but there was currently no evidence to suggest there was more than one offender and one victim at the nursery. He refused to reveal whether the victim was a boy or girl.
Mr Ward said that as the suspect had worked at the site for 18 months, ‘possibly hundreds’ of families would need to be contacted as part of the investigation.
[...]
As a nursery worker Mr Wilson should have been vetted by the Criminal Records Bureau but police and Birmingham City Council said checks to establish whether that was carried out would form part of the investigation.
However, as Mr Wilson is understood to have no previous convictions the check was unlikely to have raised any concerns.

The nursery, based within the listed Nechells Regeneration Project community centre, was issued with an improvement notice by Ofsted last August after an unannounced inspection revealed it did not have an effective procedure for safeguarding children.
The inspection had been prompted by a complaint. The education regulator called for improvements including ensuring ‘adults looking after children have appropriate qualifications, training, skills and knowledge’.
Following a subsequent inspection in November, Little Stars was given a ‘good’ rating and was said to have ‘effective procedures to ensure children are safe and their welfare is promoted, for example, appropriate recruitment and vetting procedures are in place.
‘However, the risk assessments have not yet been completed to ensure children are always in a safe and suitable environment.’
The report said the nursery had 55 children under the age of eight on its roll.
Jayne Salt, of the Crown Prosecution Service, confirmed Wilson had been charged with two counts of rape of a child under 13 years, namely two or three years, on dates between January 1, 2009, and July 30 last year.
