Little Einstein's, which opened in Mansewood, Glasgow last October, has bought the Wonderland group of four nurseries. The acquisition also includes the childcare and early years training company Thistle Training.
The group now provides 425 childcare places across six sites and employs 120 people.
It also has planning permission to extend the Dundee nursery for 50 more children and to add 40 more places at one of the Glasgow nurseries.
Little Einstein's managing director Deepak Poddar also owns Everest Nursing Homes.
Mr Poddar told Nursery World, 'We're really excited. We have plans to expand to more than ten nurseries by this time next year.'
The sale includes the properties for three of the four sites, which are in Perth, Dundee and Arbroath. The fourth nursery is based at the Ninewells Hospital run by NHS Tayside in Dundee.
