Leading nursery groups continue to grow

Three nurseries belonging to Playtime Nurseries Group have been acquired by All About Children.

Victoria and Craig Robson opened the first Playtime nursery in Shepperton in 2008. Their second and third sites followed in 2013 and 2015 in Staines and Wandsworth.

Having acquired all three Playtime Nurseries, which are registered to provide places for 224 children between them, All About Children now owns 25 settings across London and the south of England.

Russell Ford, co-founder and director of All About Children, said, ‘This is a lovely acquisition for us, and I’d like to thank Victoria and Craig for making the sale process as straightforward as possible. They’ve done a wonderful job in creating three fantastic settings, and we’re delighted that they chose us to take them forward. Our plan has always been to build a group of premium “flagship nurseries”, and our biggest challenge has always been to find the right settings. We’ve been lucky enough to find eight over the last nine months and are excited to have found another three exceptional nurseries.’
