Kids Planet buys two outstanding nurseries

Management Business
Family-owned nursery group Kids Planet has just acquired Jeffrey's Corner in Dukinfield, Cheshire and Jeffrey's Corner in Oldham, two nurseries which are rated outstanding by Ofsted.

The two nurseries will add another 100-plus places to Kids Planet's total of more than 600 (Nursery Chains 2012).

Kids Planet is also preparing for the October launch of a purpose-built site in Sale, Manchester, which brings the group’s total number of settings to ten.

The group has steadily expanded its presence in Cheshire since its launch in 2008, and last year stated its intention to add three more nurseries to its portfolio in 2013. Its Hale and Prestwich nurseries are currently rated outstanding, while all of its others are graded good.

Kids Planet chief executive officer Clare Roberts says, ‘Our plans are to continue to grow and develop the Jeffrey’s Corner nurseries further, building on their existing high standards in terms of care and occupancy.
