Just Childcare continues rapid expansion

Business Management
Nursery group Just Childcare has bought two more settings in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

The settings, St Mary’s Day Nursery and Small World Day Nursery, which are located ten miles apart in Bessacarr and Hatfield respectively, offer places for 242 children between them.

The purchase brings Just Childcare to a total of 55 settings across the North West, Yorkshire and South West of England, offering a total of 4,094 childcare places.

The acquisition marks the group’s fourth deal this year, after it bought Funcare’s three Harrogate settings in March and Kiddy Factory Nursery in Speke and Stonehouse Childcare nursery in Leyland in February.

The two Doncaster settings, which were established in 2004 by Jonathon and Donna Woodhead, are both rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
