Kids Planet acquires group of four across Newton-Le-Willows and Wigan

Kids Planet is delighted to announce the acquisition of Linden House, Canal House, Mere House and Patterdale Lodge, four nursery settings across Newton-Le-Willows, Ashton-In-Makerfield and Wigan.

The nurseries come with dedicated educators who pride themselves on providing unique and exciting learning experiences indoors, outdoors, and within the whole community, with each child’s individual needs as the top priority.

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

“I am delighted to welcome the group of four nurseries into the Kids Planet family, growing our presence in the areas of Wigan and Newton-Le-Willows. The wonderful settings focus on inspiring learning environments is closely aligned with our own approach, and we look forward to working with the teams and families moving forward.”

Carla Lee and Harriet Wilson, formers owners, said:

“Deciding to sell our beloved nurseries was difficult, but ultimately, for health reasons, it was the right time for me to step back and focus on family and friends.

From the moment I met with Kids Planet, I knew my babies would be in good hands. They were professional and supportive, and clearly held high standards. They have welcomed all of my staff members into their group with open arms, many of whom have been with me since the start. I cannot thank Kids Planet enough and wish them all the best in the 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 220 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.
