Kids Planet Day Nurseries now owns 38 settings after buying Excellence in Childcare, a group of five nurseries in Chesterfield, from previous owner Natalie Johnson, who had run the nurseries for 10 years before making the decision to sell.
The five nurseries, which are all rated either Good or Outstanding by Ofsted, have a combined capacity of 420 places, with one setting also providing an after-school and holiday club service for children up to 12 years old.
Chief executive of Kids Planet Clare Roberts commented, ‘We are thrilled to be adding this group of five to our family of nurseries at Kids Planet. This will be our first acquisition outside of the North West, increasing our total settings to 38, and is the start of our plans to become a national childcare operator.’
