Mazars advises on the sale of Poppy & Jack's Ltd

We are delighted to announce that our Deal advisory teams have successfully advised the shareholders on the sale of Poppy & Jack’s Limited (Poppy & Jack’s) to Kids Planet Day Nurseries Limited (Kids Planet).

About the transaction

Poppy & Jack's is one of the North West and Midland's leading nursery & pre-school group. The business was successfully supported by Foresight NF GP Limited (“Foresight”) following their investment in 2016. With Foresight’s support, Poppy & Jack's has grown via acquisition to 10 nurseries across the North West and the Midlands, with an enviable reputation for the high quality of childcare. 

The transaction (terms not disclosed) will see the exit of Foresight and the 2016 MBO team and allow the business to continue its impressive growth under Kids Planet ownership.

Kids Planet, supported by the Business Growth Fund (BGF), will continue to drive the business forward and underpin its growing reputation as one of the leading childcare providers in the UK.

Why Mazars

I have been overwhelmed by the level of support and commitment from the Mazars Deal Advisory Team during the sale of Poppy & Jacks. They have worked tirelessly to assist and advise the whole team, from the very beginning identifying the market, to managing the due diligence and advising in the deal negotiations.

I truly could not have achieved such a successful exit without the Mazars team by my side. Thanks to the team, you have been amazing!

Sarah Bellamy, Managing Director, Poppy & Jack’s

David and the Mazars team were fantastic in both providing support and advice throughout the process. It made the process far smoother than it could have been and I look forward to working with them in the future.
