Chairman Kevin McNeany said, 'There is a strong integrated management team in place under which the nursery group is progressing well. The 21st nursery opened in Weston-super-Mare last month with an initial occupancy level of 20 per cent, which is excellent for a start-up nursery. Two further new additions are planned within the next few months.'
