The City and childcare have not until now been terms associated much with each other - except in that workers in the first sector tend to need a lot of what the second sector provides. But things are changing fast, and the City is now interested in the growing nursery groups for their investment potential, seeing the market as one that has come of age. This week's Special Report 'Big deals' (pages 10-11) looks at how the shape of the nursery sector is changing in ways that could affect everyone - even if the words 'venture capitalist' currently mean little or nothing to you.
