Foresight VCTs invest £5.0m into Family Adventures Group Ltd

Founded in Cheddar in 2019, Family Adventures Group Ltd (“FAGL”) is a provider of daycare nurseries and children’s leisure sites.

The leisure sites are specifically differentiated soft play centres that utilise digitalisation, gamification and are further enhanced by role play zones. FAGL operates across the South West, South Wales and the Midlands, with plans to expand along the M4 and M5 corridors.

Since investment, the company has expanded from five to 14 day nurseries and has opened a third leisure site. Growth has been both organic and acquisitive. FAGL has launched four new nurseries in the Midlands and South West and purchased Green Giraffe Day Nursery in 2025.

As the expansion of funding for early years education continues, with all children over nine months in England now eligible for 15-30 hours of childcare per week, FAGL is currently focusing on expanding its nursery business by opening new sites and acquiring small groups.

Foresight has strengthened the team by hiring a Finance Director, a Head of Quality and an experienced Chair.

FAGL has received numerous local and national awards. Most notably, the company was recently listed in the Times 100 Best Places to Work and was included in the Day Nurseries Top 20 Mid-Size Nursery Groups.
