(Incorporated in England and Wales)

We operate nursery centers in the UK to give childcare and early education services to children from the ages of 3 months to 5 years old. Our business was founded in 2023 by combining Bambinos, a nursery group, with The Nursery Family. The company has done six acquisitions since then. iStep Learning operates 24 nursery centers in Southeast and Southwest England under nine brands, including Bambinos, The Nursery Family and Little Explorers.

The company has signed documents outlining the terms to acquire Bright Eyes Childcare, which manages three nurseries in Cornwall, and Grolife, which operates eight specialist education schools under the EdStart Schools brand.

Note: Net loss and revenue are in U.S. dollars (converted from the British pound) for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2026.

 

(Note: iStep Learning filed its S-1 for its IPO on Oct. 19, 2026, and disclosed the terms: 4 million shares at a price range  of $4.00 to $5.00 to raise $18 million.)
