We're delighted to announce that we've been shortlisted for Investor of the Year at the 2026 EducationInvestor Awards. Over recent years, we’ve partnered with some of the UK’s most ambitious, values-led providers in early years education - helping them grow sustainably while staying true to their culture and community roots. Here's a snapshot of what we've been up to: - OurHouse Clubs - we supported the platform’s growth journey and new site openings, culminating in a successful exit to Blackstone at the back end of 2024. - Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries Ltd - since our 2021 investment, it’s become the UK’s largest nursery franchise, now welcoming over 4,500 children each week across 70+ sites. - Abacus Ark Nursery Schools - since partnering in 2024, we’ve supported Abacus Ark’s mission to bring its distinctive, play-based learning model to more families across South West London. With several new sites underway, momentum is strong, and the team continues to set the bar for quality and care. - Nannie Annies Day Care - we’re backing the next stage of growth with a major new site in North East London and building the operational foundations around an exceptional founder-led team. Congrats to all other nominees and fingers crossed for the ceremony.
