Owned and run by David and Anna Wright, the nursery group of nine settings has been bought by Launchpad Early Years, an independent charity chaired by the Bishop of Winchester. The nurseries join Launchpad’s three existing settings in the villages of Barton Stacey, near Winchester, Appleshaw, near Andover, and Boldre near Lymington.
Paint Pots Pre-school & Nursery was founded 29 years ago by David and Anna Wright, who are now retiring.
Well-known in the sector, David Wright (below) has been a judge for the Nursery World Awards and advocate of raising the profile and number of men working in childcare, publishing a book on the subject in 2018. The same year, Paint Pots Pre-school & Nursery won Nursery World’s Nursery Group of the Year.
