The new setting in Totterdown, Bristol, is due to open in January 2014. The 19 nurseries owned by the group will offer a total of 1,243 places.
This is the second new nursery announced within the space of a month for the Mama Bear's nursery group. in July, the group unveiled plans to convert a Grade II listed building, also in Bristol, into a nursery due to open next year.
The news reflects the group's strong desire to grow.

The two new acquisitions will firmly place the group within the top 15 largest nursery chains in the UK and Ireland.
