The superb group of six settings located in the Fylde Coast, Lancashire consists of Poulton Nursery & Forest School, Victoria Hospital Nursery, Kidspace Nursery, The Learning Lodge Nursery and Ansdell Nature Nursery.
All settings within the group hold their own unique charm and each has accomplished genuine ground-breaking achievements ranging from national coverage campaigns to being the first nursery within the country to achieve the Investors in People Gold Standard.
The group has a combined capacity for 535 children aged between birth and 8 years of age. Each setting is well established within its own right with the earliest setting being established in 1999 and the latest in 2013. This acquisition will lead the Kids Planet Group to a total of 120 settings.
Following Redwoods Dowling Kerr’s long-standing relationship with the founders, the Group was brought to market via a confidential corporate sales process which entailed one to one marketing with the Director of Childcare Jenna Caldwell, and through that target sales process the RDK team were able to agree a superb deal to an ideal buyer.
Our client’s comments on the RDK sales process were: “The level of service provided by Jenna and Sarah has been exceptional from start to finish, there is a lot going on when selling but being kept updated and having the means to call the RDK Childcare Team for help anytime throughout the entire sales process has been invaluable.
Senior Childcare Broker Sarah Ellison stated: “It has been a pleasure working with the founders and assisting them with their retirement from the childcare sector. After 23 years they felt the right buyers for them were Kids Planet Day Nurseries. I would like to wish all the family the best for the future and would like to congratulate Kids Plant Day Nurseries on their latest acquisition which takes them to an impressive 120 settings.”
