Kids Planet acquires Early Birds nursery in Coppull

Kids Planet is delighted to announce the acquisition of Early Birds private day nursery in Chorley, expanding the family-led group’s presence in the Lancashire area.

With a highly dedicated, experienced, and qualified team, Early Birds Nursery is committed to providing exceptional care and education. Guided by the ethos of “Explore… Discover… Grow,” the nursery strives to foster curiosity and development. Its vision is to continuously pursue excellence, enabling children to thrive in a stimulating, safe, and nurturing setting.

Clare Roberts, CEO at Kids Planet Day Nurseries, said:

“Early Birds is a wonderful setting located in a spacious, detached building, filled with charm and character and a homely atmosphere. Their warm and inviting learning environments closely aligned with our own ethos and I am really looking forward to welcoming the teams and families into the Kids Planet and working together moving forward.”

Claire Botham, former owner of Early Birds, said:

“Since I opened the doors of Early Birds in 2003, working with the team, children and parents has been a huge part of my life and an absolute privilege. Early Birds’ future is secure in the hands of Kids Planet, who I’m sure will wrap their arms around the team and take the same pride and care in delivering excellent childcare to the families of Coppull and the surrounding areas.”

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 223 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.
