Childcare businesses enjoyed a ‘golden year’ of mergers and acquisitions in 2022, despite global economic turmoil, Redwoods Dowling Kerr reveals in its latest childcare market report.

Paul Miller, Redwoods Dowling Kerr’s (RDK) chief executive, said in the Winter 2023 Childcare Report, ‘We referred to [2022] as a golden window of opportunity and this proved to be the case.'
