The nursery group, which currently owns eight nurseries in the UK, has signed a ‘memorandum of understanding’ with Jiangsu Junyi Education Group, announcing a partnership to open new British-style early years settings in Nanjing, China.
The contract comes after the company took part in the Department for International Trade’s (DIT) early years education trade mission to China last year.
Anita Patel Sahota, chief executive and founder of Kangaroo Pouch, said, ‘We are aiming to open 15 centres in Jiangsu Province over the next three years. These settings will be delivering an integrated curriculum based on the Early Years Foundation Stage, and Kangaroo Pouch UK will provide extensive support on teacher training and quality control.
‘The first nursery will open by the end of this year and the second site is also secured. This is the first partnership for Kangaroo Pouch in China. We also have plans to explore further collaboration in other areas of China.’
