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