Busy Bees has bought four of the six family-run Bramleys Nurseries, adding a further 351 childcare places to its portfolio.
The Bramleys Nurseries bought by Busy Bees are Rockwell House in Wantage, which has recently increased its registration to 115 childcare places, Bramleys in Ardington, with 102 places, and Ladygrove in Didcot, which offers 88 places – all three are based in Oxfordshire. The fourth Bramleys nursery bought by Busy Bees is the 46-place York House in Salisbury.
Couple Sue and John Watson started the business 27 years ago. Mr Watson told Nursery World that they plan to take semi-retirement and have scaled down the business to two nurseries, which have been re-branded as Aurora Childcare.
