Nursery groups on expansion drive

Management Business
Several nursery groups have been busy in the childcare market in a recent spate of new openings, sales and acquisitions.

Altrincham-based nursery operator L&G Childcare, which currently owns two nurseries in the North West, has acquired Bungalow Day Nursery in Denton with the help of £200,000 funding from Santander Business Banking.

The family-owned business has operated nurseries for over 12 years, employs over 30 members of staff and looks after over 120 children.

L&G Childcare acquired Heathfield House Day Nursery in 2006 and Little Weavers Day Nursery in 2012, located in Warrington and Northwich respectively. The new site in Denton will enable them to offer childcare for up to 50 more children.

Gary Kirkwood, owner of L&G Childcare, said he hoped to add two further nurseries to the group to capitalise on demand for childcare in Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
