Caring Daycare was founded in 1989 in Haslemere and has now grown into a collection of seven well respected day nurseries in Surrey and West Sussex. Major Minors, a sister company, operates two nurseries including one of the largest in Surrey on Bridge Road in Godalming.
Both companies are subsidiaries of Rosevale Holdings Limited and Roffe Swayne has provided a full range of services to the Group since Managing Director Peter Churchley took full control of the business in 2005.
The Group continues to expand and has acquired existing nurseries using support from Roffe Swayne partners, Mark Leigh and Jeremy Gardner, with financial due diligence and advice on deal structuring.
Roffe Swayne’s Business Services Manager, Andrew Bagley, has also been involved in overseeing the development of their monthly management accounting and trend analysis, assisting with the training and development of key personnel. Andrew has worked with Peter Churchley in establishing a clear departmental structure so that the individual performance of each nursery can be analysed based on Sage Line 50 software with a three company structure and consolidation.
Roffe Swayne also provides payroll, tax and audit services to the group. Peter Churchley said, “In a growing business it is essential to have consistent high quality professional advice and support and Roffe Swayne has been able to provide this to us”.
Jeremy Gardner added, “It is always a pleasure to be actively involved with business owners who value our advice and input. We work hard with Peter to ensure that we remain closely involved in what is happening in the business, which enables us to give the right advice and support.”
Caring Daycare and Major Minors invest heavily in the training and development of their nursery teams which have grown to over 200 people as the Group has expanded. Awarded Investors in People for 7 years running they recognise that childcare skills training directly feeds through to higher quality outcomes for the children in their care. Ofsted has consistently awarded them “Outstanding” grades at their most recent inspections as the Group’s focus is to give every one of their children the very best start in life.
Peter Churchley is delighted that Caring Daycare Limited was recently recognised as the winner in the “Toast of Surrey Business Awards” in the up to £10m turnover category.
