Safehands, which was established in 2004 and is set in an Edwardian building in the Duchy area, sees Just Childcare extend its portfolio to 60 settings and follows the acquisition of 11 other nurseries by the group since the start of 2019. 

The newest setting provides places for 70 children and has an outstanding rating from Ofsted. It will be Just Childcare’s fifth setting in the Harrogate area.

The group now provides nearly 4,500 childcare places across its nurseries.
