The deal means that the group now owns eight nurseries and one out-of-school club. All are based in Staffordshire, except for one setting in Warwickshire.
Owners Gavin and Catherine Harvey started the group 12 years ago and have grown it gradually from a 20-place nursery to offering more than 550 places and employing 190 people.
Four of the group’s existing settings are graded outstanding and two are good.
The two newly acquired settings - based in Fazeley, also in Tamworth, and Cannock in Staffordshire - are leasehold properties and were previously part of the Happy Tots group, which has now closed.
The nurseries were sold through specialist property adviser Christie + Co within ten working days.
