The sale of Childs-Play, which had an asking price of £5.5 million, was agreed during lockdown. The acquisition continues the growth of the North West chain which now has 18 nurseries and offers more than 1,000 childcare places.
It acquired Network Nurseries, a group of five settings across Greater Manchester and Cheshire in April. Then in August the group purchased Domalo Childcare which has four nurseries in Oldham and Stockport. All of the sales have been brokered by Redwood Dowling Kerr (RDK).
Its latest acquisition, Childs-Play, was established in 2001 by Sarah and David Sloane. They opened Little Angels Day Nursery which steadily expanded to five freehold settings along the Fylde coast in Lancashire.
