WE ARE SUPPORTING FUNDED CHILDCARE FOR FAMILIES - FIND OUT MORE!
Kids Planet is delighted to announce three recent acquisitions – Fieldside Day Nursery in Great Heck, Holly Grange Montessori Nursery in Sandbach, and Rope Green Farm Day Nursery in Shavington.
Fieldside Day Nursery is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with lots of outdoor provision and committed educators who encourage varied activities for children to enjoy an advanced learning experience.
Holly Grange Montessori Nursery‘s approach follows each child’s individual learning style at their own pace, and the overall aim is for the children to leave to go to school not only ready for their next stage of learning, but also full of self-esteem, confidence and with high levels of wellbeing.
Rope Green Farm Nursery is set in a beautifully renovated, spacious barn and surrounded by extensive countryside. Children have the space to safely explore their environment, utilising strong rural connections.
Clare Roberts, CEO at Kids Planet Day Nurseries, said:
“I am delighted to welcome the three new wonderful nurseries into the Kids Planet family. The nurseries come with wonderful teams that act as role models to the children and create inspiring environments that closely align with our approach. We are continuing to grow our network of award-winning nurseries but our core values remain consistent with high-quality early years education at the heart of everything we do. I look forward to the exciting future ahead at Kids Planet with our fantastic team.”
Gail and Colin Hope, previous owners of Fieldside, said:
“As family, we have always been passionate about childcare and education and after 23 years of building Fieldside from scratch, selling was not an easy decision. Kids Planet has the ethos and family values that we feel are so important for great childcare settings. After our initial meeting with Kids Planet and working with their amazing team, we know we have found the right successors and Fieldside will continue to develop and prosper for all our families and staff.”
Vicky and Chris Dodd, previous owners of Rope Green Farm, said:
“Handing over Rope Green Farm Day Nursery to Kids Planet is a significant moment for both of us. It has been a huge part of our lives, and we are incredibly proud of what we have founded and built over the last 15 years. Working with the Kids Planet team made the process smooth and reassuring. Their professionalism and support throughout made it an easier transition for us, knowing our legacy is in good hands. We are confident that Kids Planet will continue to nurture the vision we have had for the nursery and wish them every success in the near future.”
Founded in 2008 by Clare Roberts and her father John Hoban, initially with two settings in Warrington and Widnes, Kids Planet has grown significantly over the last 16 years with a mission to deliver the highest quality of childcare. With Clare as CEO and Lucy Kaczmarska as Operations Director, Kids Planet remains a family-run and family-focused business.
Kids Planet Day Nurseries has grown to 206 settings across the UK through a combination of acquisition and greenfield developments. Our focus continues to be acquiring existing nursery settings that fit with our values for the highest quality in childcare and seeking development opportunities to build our geographical presence.
