Nursery World - Nursery chain expands as the sector shows growth

The fifth setting of a Cheshire based nursery chain is due to open in the summer.

The Cheshire Day Nursery Group has bought the former Fledglings Day Nursery in Warrington. Fledglings continues to operate three day nurseries in the north-west of England.

The setting, which had been closed for two years, is now being refurbished and is expected to cater for around 100 children. Its new owners are planning to employ around 30 members of staff.

Once the new setting has opened, the Cheshire Day Nursery Group will be offering a total of 413 childcare places and employing 115 staff across its five nurseries.

Julie Mannering, co-owner with her sister Brenda Burling of Cheshire Day Nursery Group, which now has three settings in the Warrington area, said, 'We have recently celebrated ten years in the nursery business. We opened our first nursery in February 2000 and we remain as passionate and enthusiastic about children as we were when we first started.
