Crowley Property Limited, the owner of Hampshire-based Little Acorns Day Nurseries, has been purchased by TMB Day Nurseries Limited.

Advisers at Knights worked on the deal to bring Little Acorns Day Nurseries, and its day nurseries in Eastleigh and Hedge End, into TMB’s ownership.

The purchase expands TMB Day Nurseries’ portfolio in and around Portsmouth and Southampton.

Oliver Thomson, director on behalf of TMB, paid tribute to the role lawyers at Knights played in finalising the deal:

“This is an important deal for TMB Day Nurseries, increasing our profile in and around South Hampshire. It provides a strong platform for current and future development of the business”

“I was absolutely delighted with the service provided by Knights. I have worked with a number of legal teams in the South East and Knights have proved themselves to be the top amongst them – I will certainly be using them again.”

Knights' team was led by Corporate lawyer Sam Steckler and Real Estate Lawyer Tara Moore, with support from a wide range of experts including Dominic Travers, Bharat Nahar, Julian Moran, George Maynard, Fiona Moss, Meri Seiranian, Seb Burdock, Sarah Burke and Sarah Luxmoore.
