Head Start’s owners Julie Moinet and her partner Gary, who have ran the nursery group for 25 years, have sold the business to retire.
This is Les Petits Chaperons Rouges’ (LPCR) third UK nursery acquisition after buying Kiddi Caru and Magic Nurseries last year.
LPCR is the brand name of European family-owned childcare provider Grandir.
Established in 1993, Head Start Day Nursery operates four settings in Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard, Daventry and Northampton.
With the acquisition of the new nurseries, LPCR now has 40 settings in the UK, offering around 3,430 places. Across France and Germany, it operates more than 300 nurseries.
Julie Moinet and her partner Gary said, ‘Head Start has been our baby for so long that when we made the decision to retire, we were looking for a professional, reflective and experienced provider to ensure the business was in safe hands. We are delighted to pass the baton to LPCR who, we believe, will ensure the quality nurseries will develop and grow in the future, to the benefit of the children, staff and parents.’
