- Kids Planet Day Nurseries
Plans are afoot to more than double in size the Kids Planet Day Nurseries chain over the next three years, starting with the opening of a fifth nursery in November. The group was established by Clare Roberts in 2008, with the financial backing of her father, who used to co-own nine nurseries.
She began by taking over two established settings, and has since opened two nurseries a year in north-west England. 'In the current economic climate people expect childcare numbers to drop, but that has not been our experience. If anything, it has meant that both parents have had to return to work because there is a worry that if one of them were to lose their job they would be in financial difficulty. It is felt that two incomes brings more security,' explains Ms Roberts (seen far right in the photograph).
