Tell us about the sale. How will the group fit within Bright Horizons' structure?
The locations fit well because it increases our presence in the south of England and many sites are in areas where we already have nurseries. It strengthens our operational clusters because more nurseries are located close to each other.
Casterbridge has a strong regional management team and operations director. There are four regional managers who each look after six or seven nurseries.
There are 27 capable nursery managers, demonstrating strong leadership. Most of the management team are staying with us: director Matthew Moore, quality director Sue Pumffrey, operations director Heather Young and HR director Dominic Gill. Director Paul Brosnan will be with us for three months.
