Perfect Start is a group of eight fantastic settings operating from thoughtfully converted premises. We look forward to supporting the teams in providing the highest quality of childcare to their local communities. A warm welcome to all of the team, children and families.”
“We are all delighted to have found the perfect home for our group of nurseries with Kids Planet. We are very proud of what we have achieved with the team, and this is an excellent opportunity for them to flourish. We are confident Kids Planet will serve our communities with the highest quality of childcare, as they gain a foothold in these ideal locations. We would like to wish them, the parents, the children, and all the staff the very best for the next step on this exciting journey.”
