The nursery group, founded in 1996, has purchased a former setting in Brockhall Village in Blackburn, Lancashire.
Existing members of staff at the 86-place nursery, which is now known as ‘Educare Brockhall’, are continuing to work at the setting.
The new nursery brings the total number of settings owned by Educare for Early Years to four, offering a total of more than 300 childcare places.
Educare for Early Years, whose head office is based in Ramsbottom, Lancashire, now employs more than 100 people.
The owners of the nursery, David and Mandy Owen, opened their first nursery 18 years ago in Bury, followed by a second setting in Rossendale in 1998, and another nursery in Radcliffe in 2005. All three settings are rated good by Ofsted.
