Ashbourne now operates the settings in central Leicester and Alfreton, formerly run by Harp.
According to Ofsted, the nursery in Alfreton was registered by Ashbourne in February and the site in Leicester central earlier this month.
Both nurseries were previously owned by the Harp Group which acquired them from Welcome last year when the company went into administration.
Nursery World reported last week that the Harp Group, which shut its Langho setting on Friday (14 April), now has 10 settings after purchasing 26 from Welcome.
This is the third Harp nursery Ashbourne, which shares a director in common with the Harp Group - Sarah Blyth, has taken over from the group.
