Warrington-based Kids Planet Day Nurseries, which operates more than 190 children's nurseries across the UK, has bought Butterflies Day Nursery in Bristol.
This marks the 192nd setting for Kids Planet which has grown through a combination of acquisition and greenfield developments, providing early years education and care across the UK for more than 29,000 children. Its focus continues to be acquiring existing nursery settings that fit with its values and provide development opportunities to build out its geographical presence.
Clare Roberts, CEO at Kids Planet, said: “I am delighted to welcome Butterflies into the Kids Planet family, expanding our presence and offering in the Southwest of England. The nursery comes with a wonderful team who act as role models to the children and create inspiring environments both indoors and outdoors for the children to explore."
Viv Osbourne, previous owner of Butterflies Day Nursery, said: “Butterflies Nursery was brought to life during Covid. I worked with my family to transform the old golf clubhouse into a large, bright, and safe environment for children to learn and play. Trying to find the right company to take it to the next stage of its life was proving difficult, until I was introduced to Kids Planet.
“After our first meeting, I felt confident that Kids Planet would continue the successful development of the nursery and leave me feeling that Butterflies is in safe hands. They are professional and compassionate, and I know they will continue to progress and improve both the nursery and staff team. I wish Kids Planet the absolute best in their future growth and will watch on with pride as my grandchildren grow under their care.”
