The reported incident took place at the Casanueces nursery in Torrejon de Ardoz, Madrid province.
Several employees at the nursery have been arrested over alleged child abuse, and authorities are investigating the case.
Nicole, a student who took the video, has told the Spanish outlet Antena 3 what she saw happen.
She said: “Before entering the dining room, the children would start crying, they would do many ugly things to them.
“They would force them to eat, they would choke them, they would grab them.
“They threatened one-year-olds that they were going to eat food off the floor.”
The video shows a staff member pushing a toddler’s head up against a wall.
As the child cries out in terror, she is seen to yell at the kid: “Don’t spit out your food!”
“I’m so sick of you,” she goes on.
She pins the child down on down on her lap to force-feed the toddler.
She then says: “If you spit it out I will put it back in. If you vomit, you are f***ed.”
Another member of staff can be seen in the background apparently unfazed with no reaction to the appalling scene unfolding before their eyes.
The nursery has since been shut, and Spanish police have arrested two staff members for alleged abuse of a child – while two more have been arrested for failing to report the incident.
A group of parents gathered outside the site of the now closed nursery to protest last Friday, MailOnline reported.
One mother, named as Nancy, told Antena 3 she hadn’t been able to sleep, adding: “Everything we’ve seen is engraved in my mind.”
She said her toddler had gone through a sudden loss of appetite – and now understands why this might have happened after witnessing the appalling footage.
A woman who was arrested in connection to the incident appeared in court last Friday afternoon, where she showed little remorse.
She told an interviewer: “It’s your f***ing fault. I’m on the street, I have two daughters to support and a mortgage to pay.”
