The north west of England nursery group was established in 2005 by owners and directors Julie and Ian Lightley. Its nurseries, the majority of which are based in Cheshire, are in a 45 minute radius of its Crewe head office.
At the beginning of the year the group purchased The Nursery in Wistaston, Cheshire (below) from Joe and Carol Connolly who were retiring from the business. It is currently being refurbished.
Before the lockdown the group took over the building next door to its Warrington nursery. It has 
now been successfully reopened as an early years centre focussing on family sessions, events and support in the community along with a sessional pre-school.
