Formerly owned by Sarah Presswood, the setting won the Nursery World Health and Wellbeing Award in 2019.
With the deal, Kids Planet now operates 95 nurseries, providing more than 7,000 childcare places.
The rapidly expanding nursery group plans to continue to acquire settings this year.
Former owner of George Perkins Day Nursery, Sarah Presswood, said, ‘After a combined 50 years at the nursery, 10 of them as the owners, Jane and I made the difficult decision to sell the business. Having built it up to be a nursery which is recognised as putting the child and family at the heart of all we do, we knew we wanted to sell it on to an organisation with a similar ethos. We are confident that the staff team, which is the core of the nursery, will continue to provide the children with the very best start in life under the direction of Kids Planet, whose ideals align very much with our own.’
