Nursery group Bright Stars has acquired two day nursery settings in Glasgow trading as Happy Days Too: Happy Days Too Busby and Southfield House, Mearnskirk, together providing care for up to 215 children.

Earlier this month Bright Stars acquired two day nursery businesses in Hamilton and Clydebank, Glasgow.

For more than 30 years, Happy Days Too has provided a range of full-time and part-time places for children aged between six weeks and preschool years.

The business has been owned by CME Investments since 2003 and was brought to market in January this year.

Bright Stars now owns 23 settings across Scotland.

Dougie MacAulay, managing director at CME Investments, said: “Over the period of our ownership, we have developed a very strong, experienced and accomplished team who have consistently delivered quality childcare provision, and we are so proud of their success. Bright Stars are, in our view, an ideal fit. They will look after all our wonderful staff, who will continue to flourish under their management and direction.”

Stephen Booty, chairman at Bright Stars Nurseries, commented: “The dedicated staff at Happy Days Too and Southfield House, Mearnskirk will continue to play a vital role in fostering a warm atmosphere where children can learn and grow. We aim to maintain the high standards of education and affection that parents have come to expect. As we embark on this new journey, we look forward to creating joyful experiences for the children in our care and building strong relationships with families in the community.”

Business property advisor Christie & Co facilitated the sale.

Happy Days Too Busby and Southfield House, Mearnskirk were sold for an undisclosed price.
