"The UK education sector has experienced considerable change in the past few years."

"As children from nine months of age became entitled to 15 hours of free childcare in September, we take a look to see if there’s been any impact so far on the day nursery sector."

"The UK’s day nursery sector is in a period of growth and adaptation. Like many other sectors, it faces a number of pressures and changes, but forming partnerships with complementary amenities may help alleviate some of these challenges. "

"Children’s day nurseries have undergone a significant transformation in ownership and structure: shifting from small, single site independent operators to institutionalised organisations that attract increasing investment."

"As changes announced within the UK’s spring mini-budget come to fruition, the early years sector – which encompasses nursery schools for young children – is undergoing a period of adaption and growth."

"Significant market consolidation has led to increased investor appetite and the emergence of a two-tier children’s day nursery market."

"The Government has set a vision for the UK’s education sector to be the world-leading in sustainability and climate change by 2030."

"Good quality, profitable examples receive significant interest."
