Treetops Nurseries, the tenth largest nursery chain in the UK, has acquired a Derbyshire setting to take the number of nurseries it operates to 31, offering 2,200 places.
The latest acquisition, Woodlands Nursery in Belper, has more than 100 places and a self-contained baby unit.
Managing director David Hancock said, 'We are committed to our expansion plans and delighted to add the Belper nursery to our group. The nursery is not only in great condition, located in a well-established popular area, but it complements our existing setting on the other side of town.'
Mr Hancock added, 'We are looking forward to building on this success and continuing to expand our portfolio of high-quality settings across the UK.'
The group has expanded rapidly in the past year, buying up Vicar Water Day Nursery in Nottinghamshire last month. Earlier this year Treetops bought Bright New Minds and My Day nurseries. The deals added 500 more childcare places and seven more nurseries to the business.
