Press Release
La Maison Bleue accelerates its growth with
the acquisition of La Part de Rêve
La Maison Bleue has recently purchased La Part de Rêve, one of the France's leading operators of day-care nurseries, offering childcare solutions through a network of 38 nurseries, located in 10 French regions and building on the skills of 330 employees.
This build-up acquisition further accelerates La Maison Bleue's organic growth model - with over 20 new nursery openings per annum - and comes after a first build-up, Crèches Baby & Co, which was integrated in July 2013.
With La Part de Rêve, La Maison Bleue reaches a new milestone with over 180 child-care nurseries and €100 million of group sales in 2015. This strong growth strategy is expected to continue for several years driven by strong market demand. La Maison Bleue is aiming for €120 million of turnover in 2016 and €150 million in 2017.
The international growth of La Maison Bleue is equally strong, with a strengthening of its position in Switzerland and a development in new countries as of 2017.
The acquisition of La Part de Rêve represents the 47th build-up in the Activa Capital portfolio, after the recent 2015 acquisitions of Desamais Distribution for the Findis Group and CableTest for Nexeya.
