Kids Planet Day Nursery Group has acquired Angels Nursery in Kettering, bringing the group’s total number of nurseries to 13.

This well-established nursery holds a strong reputation, serving the local community and businesses of Kettering, and will develop Kids Planet’s presence in Northamptonshire.

Simeon Singer, previous owner, said:

“During the past 7 years I have been fortunate to be the owner and guardian of this wonderful nursery and I’ve put a huge amount of personal energy, time and money into improving the facilities to ensure that the team provides the highest standards of care and education for the children in our care. I made the decision to sell Angels Day Nursery to allow me the time to focus on my business interests outside of the childcare sector.

After a very careful selection process I decided to sell the nursery to Kids Planet given their ethos as a primarily family-run and highly regarded childcare operator. It was a genuine pleasure to deal with the team at Kids Planet and I wish them every success in the future as they look to build on the nursery’s fantastic local reputation.”

Clare Roberts, chief executive at Kids Planet, said:

“I am thrilled to welcome Theresa and the team, and we are looking forward to supporting the nursery with their transition into our Kids Planet family. Angels Nursery prides itself on providing a home from home environment and delivering excellent quality childcare and education, aligning with Kids Planet’s own values.”
