France's Grandir, which owns Kiddi Caru Day Nurseries, has continued its UK expansion by acquiring Futurepath Childcare.

Grandir's UK arm acquired the organisation in a deal brokered by Christie & Co, with legal advisory services provided by Cripps Pemberton Greenish.

News of the transaction comes a month after this publication exclusively revealed that Grandir was to acquire Nurture Day Nurseries, comprising two London sites. 

With settings in Southampton, Park Gate, Ower, Whiteley in Fareham and Romsey, the Futurepath has a combined operating capacity for around 375 children.
