Little Green Rascals nursery group acquires 6th setting

Business Management Provision
Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nurseries has bought 60-place Polly Anna’s Daycare Nursery in York, formerly owned by Ken McArthur.

Mr McArthur, who founded the setting in Hexby in 1997, has sold the setting to retire.

Polly Anna's Daycare Nursery will be Little Green Rascals sixth nursery. The group's other settings are based in and around York.

Vanessa Warn, founder and managing director of Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nurseries, said they had been looking to expand for some time and the opportunity to buy Polly Anna’s Daycare Nursery, which is rated outstanding by Ofsted, was ‘too good to miss’.

She added, ‘Ken McArthur has been a great mentor and sounding board for me and my business since I started out in 2009, his knowledge of the sector is unmatched. I’m thrilled to be able to take on his thriving nursery and will strive to maintain the high standards that have already been set.’
