North West nursery group to open UK franchises

Kids Academy is rebranding and opening five new franchised settings next year.

While Kids Academy has franchises abroad, it is about to open five franchised settings in the UK for the first time in 2015.

The group currently has nine settings in the UK and abroad. Four are based in the Warrington area, with a further five franchised nurseries in the United Arab Emirates.

‘The demographics show how much take-up there is in the UK. There is a great demand for childcare, which we are trying to meet. We are going to use the five UK sites as a model to see how it goes, as we understand the difficulties of maintaining an outstanding level of childcare in more than one setting,’ said Ms Jones.
