Bees. But what was the thinking behind the deal? By Meredith Jones Russell.
Earlier this month, Kinder Nurseries was bought by Busy Bees, the largest daycare company in the UK.
Kinder Nurseries, which owns 11 nurseries in Kent and one in London, offers a total of 1,044 places for children from three months to five years, and an additional 346 places in holiday and out-of-school clubs.
The company also owns Meredale Independent School in Rainham, Kent, which it acquired from the local council in 2004, restoring the building to its former Edwardian appearance and, prior to its re-opening in January 2005, changing its name from Meredale Infant School to Meredale Independent School. It offers 140 registered places for four to 11-year-olds.
