The nursery group recently took over Little Manor Day Nursery in Runcorn, Cheshire, which is a 56-place setting.
The acquisition brings the total number of childcare places operated by Just Childcare to 402.
The nursery group’s other settings, which are all rated good by Ofsted, are Little Acorns Atherton, Little People Piccadilly and Best Friends Worsley, all in Manchester, and Little People Burnley and Little People Habergham, both in Lancashire.
Owners Jacqueline and David Johnson are also planning further expansion, with the acquisition of another setting towards the end of the year, and the opening of a new nursery in a converted Victorian house in Glossop, Derbyshire, in January 2015.
