Nursery provider secures £6.5m from BGF




Kids Planet has received a £6.5m investment from the Business Growth Fund (BGF) to support its expansion.

The Manchester-based nursery and education provider offers early-years care based around creative play, nutritional meals and educational support.

Kids Planet plans to double the number of nurseries within the group in the next five years and has outlined a number of new sites in locations such as Great Sankey, Hoylake, Manchester city centre and EllenBrook.

The BGF had previously provided £10m of investment to the company in 2016, which allowed Kids Planet to expand from 17 to 23 sites across the North of England.

The funding was used to support acquisitions and nursery fit-outs.

Clare Roberts, CEO at Kids Planet, said: “BGF’s support has been crucial in helping us roll-out more sites as we continue to grow.

“Our ambition is to continue to expand and increase the provision of exceptional early-years care across the North of England.”
