Nursery World - Old Station buys 11 nurseries as groups across the country continue to expand

Nursery groups are continuing to consolidate and grow their portfolios, while occupancy levels in settings are impacted by the coronavirus crisis.

Old Station, a subsidiary of international operator La Maison Bleue, has acquired Sunhill Daycare Nurseries group

The Old Station Nursery Group now owns 30 settings across the Midlands and South of England following the acquisition of Sunhill Daycare Nurseries Group, a group of 11 nurseries that was established by Geoff Chapman in 1991.

The nurseries are based in Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, London, and Suffolk.

One of the top 25 largest UK nursery groups, The Old Station Nursery Group, led by managing director Sarah Steel, became a subsidiary of the international childcare operator La Maison Bleue last year. La Maison Bleue was founded in 2004 by Sylvain Forestier and Antonia Ryckbosch and is the leading childcare provider in Switzerland and the third largest provider in both France and Luxembourg.
