Nursery World - Nursery group adds 10th setting

Saurus Nurseries has acquired a West Sussex nursery as part of expansion plans.

Rose Cottage Day Nursery in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, has been bought by Saurus Nurseries as part of the group’s expansion in the south of England.

Originally opened in 2015, the nursery provides places for up to 53 children and operates from a converted barn, with an outdoor space including a play area, woodland area and animals for the children to interact with. The nursery has an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.

Previous owners Paul and Nicola Bowen decided to sell the nursery four years after they set it up, in order to move house and pursue other interests.??

Owners of Saurus Nurseries Ray and Rikke Phoon said they plan to continue to expand their growing group, which was set up in 2006 and now offers 794 childcare places across 10 nurseries.
