Having a partner like BGF which understands both the personalities in the business but also the strategy has been great. When you’ve been in a family-run business, the last thing you want is to feel like you’re no longer in control of your company.​

Working with BGF, we’ve never had to compromise on quality,​ and in childcare that is really important as people are looking​ to you to provide a service for their most important, precious​ thing – their child.
