The acquisition, one of the biggest within the sector so far this year, brings the total number of settings owned by Magic Nurseries to 17, offering around 1,052 places.
Based on last year’s Nursery Chains directory, Magic Nurseries is now the 16th biggest nursery chain in the UK.
The move sees the nursery group add eight settings, all in Leicestershire, to its existing nine nurseries, three of which are based in the county.
Magic Nurseries’ other settings are in Hertfordshire, Cambridge and Northampton. The nursery group is owned by Tom Reed.
News of the acquisition comes after Magic Nurseries, owned by Tom Reed, told Nursery World’s Nursery Chains, published in Autumn 2013, that it planned to continue to rapidly expand by acquiring high-quality individual nurseries and small groups.
