Nursery group plan expansion after landing £12m funding package
Nursery group Just Childcare – the 12th largest nursery group in the UK – has secured over £12million funding in support of the company’s plans for expansion and development.
The group – which currently operates nurseries in the North West and Yorkshire –has also announced the acquisition of five-strong nursery group Abbeywood Tots in Bristol.
The acquisition has taken Just Childcare from 33 to 38 nurseries and also sees the nursery group extending its operations to the Southern region.
The group now offers 2,752 child places across its settings, all of which are Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’.
Just Childcare was established in 2004 by David and Jacqueline Johnson, who have seen the family of day nurseries grow from seven settings to 38 in the last three years.
Those three years have also seen the development of Just Childcare’s central support function in Manchester, led by an experienced management team with professionals specialising in areas from operations, safeguarding and quality support to HR and finance.
The teams are dedicated to making sure Just Childcare’s childcare practitioners have everything they need to provide a high-quality service to local families.
