Finance was provided by HSBC, led by relationshipm anager Tom Tombs, while the sellers were represented by Blake Morgan.

Claire said: “Cassandra is truly passionate about delivering the highest quality childcare and it was a pleasure to assist her. This was a complex deal, involving lengthy negotiations.

“In addition to the share purchase, Brachers’ work included acting for Blue Iris on the acquisition of the property occupied by Little Dolphins where various planning issues had to be overcome.

“Thank you to Cassandra, HSBC, the sellers’ team at Blake Morgan and our colleagues at Brachers for their hard work and perseverance.”
