Expanding North West nursery group receives multi-million-pound funding boost

Just Childcare, based in Manchester, has received an eight-figure sum from Allied Irish Bank (GB) to refurbish its nurseries and continue to grow.

The group has been improving its services at many of its 34 nurseries, and the new investment from Allied Irish Bank (GB), will allow it to continue this upgrade programme.

It will also provide a platform for future growth, through potential acquisitions and creating jobs, as the group seeks to expand further. The group currently employs just under 600 staff.

David Johnson, Just Childcare director, said, ‘The funding provided by Allied Irish Bank (GB) is being used to complete the refurbishment of some of our nurseries and enhance even further the facilities that we offer, some of which include sensory rooms and Forest Schools. ‘I have worked with Allied Irish Bank (GB) for over 13 years, they are a long-standing supporter of Just Childcare and funded our set-up in 2004.’
