Happy Days Nurseries and Pre-Schools Expand To 35 Sites

Happy Days Nurseries and Pre-Schools expand to 35 sites with the acquisition of Junior’s Day Nursery

Happy Days Nurseries and Pre-Schools is delighted to have been given the opportunity to expand its portfolio further with the acquisition of Junior’s Day Nursery, increasing their portfolio to 35 settings across the South and South West.

Junior’s Day Nursery consists of four nurseries located in Kent, providing high quality childcare for over 10 years. Their ethos is to be the best childcare nursery in the areas they serve, offering outstandingly appointed, clean, safe facilities, that all include multi-sensory indoor and outdoor spaces as well as access to forest school activities.

Marcia Viccars, Merger & Acquisitions Director, said, “We are thrilled to be growing our portfolio again, reaching a milestone of 35 nurseries. This recent acquisition of these four fantastic nurseries in Kent shows our commitment to expand further into the south east of England and we are looking forward to building on this.”

Kim Herbert, Managing Director for Happy Days Nurseries and Pre-Schools added,“ Junior’s Day Nursery is a perfect fit for Happy Days. Their values and beliefs of providing children with the very best care and education align with our own. The staff team will remain in place, and we look forward to working with them to support children to become strong and motivated learners for life and provide a top-class service to enable parents to work and live their daily lives knowing their children are cherished and cared for to the highest standard.”

Denise Fuller, outgoing owner of Junior’s commented, “After 16 years of dedicated service in providing high-quality education to children across four settings, it was imperative for me to identify a successor who would uphold the values and ethos of Junior’s while continuing to deliver the exceptional standard of care and education that our families have come to expect. Following extensive research into many prospective buyers I am confident that I have made the right choice with Happy Days Nurseries, and they make a great fit for the new ownership of Junior’s, maintaining the excellent reputation and legacy that Junior’s has worked so hard to achieve over the years. I wish Happy Days Nurseries all the best in their future endeavours.”

The sale was facilitated by specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, with Sophie Willcox, Childcare & Education at Christie & Co, commenting, “Working with Denise has been a pleasure from start to finish. She has built an impressive, well-respected group that I knew would receive a lot of interest, and I am delighted to have found the right buyers to look after her team and carry on her legacy.”
