Kids Planet has acquired four new settings over two nurseries: Horn End Group of three in Stafford, and The Owls in Bolton. The new nurseries take the group’s total to 107 active nurseries.

Welcomed on board is the Horn End Nursery Group, consisting of three nurseries in Stafford – Hixon, Stafford, Rugeley. Established in 1990, Horn End has provided high-quality childcare for hundreds of families across Staffordshire for over 30 years. Putting the needs of children and their families first is the nurseries priority.

The fourth newly acquired nursery, The Owls Nursery in Blackrod, is imaginatively designed, offering the facility to learn through play and exploration, for babies through to preschool. All rooms have access to the large and well-equipped garden area, allowing children free flow from inside to outside.

Clare Roberts. chief exec at Kids Planet, said: “The four newly acquired nurseries are dedicated providers with a high focus on quality learning experiences both indoors and outdoors, and I see synergies between them and Kids Planet.

In February we hit a really important milestone of over 100 nurseries, and the year is off to a fantastic start with this further news. I look forward to the exciting future we have ahead as a company, and to welcoming the children, families and staff from the new nurseries into our family.”
