Nursery World - Kids Planet to take on Oxford University nurseries

Kids Planet has won a bid to run the five workplace nurseries for staff and students at Oxford University, which were put out to tender.

The nurseries were previously managed by Bright Horizons.

The five nurseries are based in north and central Oxford and Headington, and are the first move into the South of England for the North-West nursery group, which is now the third largest in the UK.
