The nursery group has bought Kingfisher Day Nursery, one of the settings operated by Kingfisher Day Nurseries whose owner Helen Allanson has decided to downscale the chain.
With the deal, the Hollies Day Nurseries now has five nurseries – all in Nottingham, providing a total of 340 childcare places.
Former owner of Kingfisher Day Nursery Helen Allanson said, ‘I bought the nursery 17 years ago and have worked hard to transform the building into an open, light-filled space with excellent care and learning opportunities. I intend to continue working with the other three settings for the next few years.’
A spokesperson for Hollies Day Nurseries said, ‘Hollies Day Nurseries is excited to take over Kingfisher and welcomes the team, children, and families to the Hollies family. We are looking forward to all the new and exciting opportunities we will offer them all.’
