The group, which is owned by Jacqueline and David Johnson, has bought Park Wood Day Nursery in Bidston, the Wirral.
The 61-place nursery was formerly owned by husband and wife team, Mr and Mrs Witherspoon.
Since last autumn, Just Childcare has more than doubled its number of nurseries, growing from a chain of six to 15.
The acquisition brings the total number of nurseries owned by Just Childcare to 15, offering 816 places, which would make it the 25th largest nursery chain in the UK, according to data from Nursery World’s Nursery Chains 2014.
The group's other nurseries, which are all rated good and outstanding, are based in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cheshire.
