We are a family-run organisation that has collectively spent the last 40 years working in education. After working as a special needs teacher, Renu Kapila opened her first nursery in 1991. Together with her husband, Paul, the setting grew into the largest single-site nursery in the UK. Their passion for childcare and innovation in education saw them achieve Ofsted Outstanding and the NMT’s first award for Best Design.
