Nursery World - Kindred Education grows to 36 settings

Kindred Education has bought a chain of four nurseries, taking its total number of sites to 36.

The nursery group has acquired the Alphabet House Nursery chain of four sites in Nottingham, which together provide nearly 300 childcare places.

The deal sees Kindred Education grow to 36 nurseries, providing more than 2,300 places.

Chief executive of Kindred Education, Ruth Pimentel said, ‘The passion of the former owners of Alphabet House was evident, and they were keen to know that the settings would continue to be looked after and further developed. We are excited to start a new phase with Alphabet House being a key part of that development.

Andrew Coulter of Coulter Consulting, who brokered the sale, added, ‘The transaction sailed through to completion with ease and both sides have said with real sincerity that every minor issue was resolved with a common-sense approach. I am certain that Kindred will create many opportunities for growth and career development for the loyal workforce.’
