Investment in staff and strong community awareness has helped Children 1st @ Breedon House to dramatically improve standards at a nursery it acquired in Grantham in 2007. The nursery was recently judged outstanding by Ofsted, bringing it up to the same level as four of its other settings in Derbyshire, Leicester, Nottingham and Yorkshire.
The family-run business headquartered in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, has recently made two acquisitions, bringing its total number of settings to 15. Currently 1,652 children benefit from its services and a total 332 staff are employed. It also runs a training academy.
