This will increase the chain’s number of settings from 17 to 25 by 2018.
The new site in Salford Quays will open as a 136-place nursery in November.
In addition to this, two other settings have been acquired by the group since the last Nursery Chains supplement placed them at 16th in the largest UK chains league table.
These are Yarrow House Nursery in Southport, Liverpool, and Lymehurst Day Nursery in Urmston, Greater Manchester, both rated as Outstanding by Ofsted.
The group also bought a site in Swinton to create a £1.5 million purpose-built nursery to open in 2017.
Chief executive Clare Roberts said, ‘We’re so pleased to have acquired such a fantastic site within Exchange Quay, it will be a great fit for the Kids Planet group. All areas of our buildings are thought about, ensuring we utilise all parts to create cosy, stimulating and unique spaces.
