Kids Planet Day Nurseries has announced the acquisition of a group of five nurseries on The Fylde, previously part of a group called Happy Days. This brings the Kids Planet group to a total of 120 settings

The newly acquired nurseries are Poulton Nursery and Forest School in Poulton-le-Fylde, Victoria Hospital Nursery for NHS employees in Blackpool, Kidspace and The Learning Lodge in Thornton-Cleveleys, and Ansdell Nursery in Lytham St Annes.

These settings are largely aligned with primary schools and hospitals and sit alongside existing Kids Planet settings in the region.

Clare Roberts, chief executive of Kids Planet said:

“It is a pleasure to welcome this group of five into the Kids Planet family. They are well-established settings, delivering quality childcare across several catchments on the Fylde, and present an excellent fit with our existing presence in the region. We are really excited to support these nurseries and watch them flourish as part of the Kids Planet group.”
