Karen Clince
CEO of Tigers Childcare
Founded in 2003, Tigers Childcare operates a nationwide platform of early years education, preschool and after-school childcare centres across Ireland. The transaction marks a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth and supports Kids Planet’s expansion into the Irish childcare market.
Kids Planet is one of the UK’s largest childcare providers, operating a broad network of nurseries and early years settings across the UK. The acquisition of Tigers Childcare represents a strategic step in extending its international footprint and strengthening its position within the broader European childcare sector.
Karen Clince, CEO of Tigers Childcare, commented “Liberty provided exceptional support throughout the entire process and played a key role in securing a fantastic outcome for both myself and the management team. In any negotiation process, there are countless details and moving parts to manage, so having Liberty alongside us brought a huge sense of confidence and reassurance. They guided us through every stage, taking the time to explain each aspect of the negotiations in detail while also helping us navigate our future positioning strategically. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment were invaluable throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend Liberty or work with them again on future negotiations."

It has been a privilege to work alongside Karen and the Tigers Childcare management team as the business reaches an incredible milestone. With the support from Kids Planet Day Nurseries and Fremman Capital, the company is well positioned for the next chapter of its growth story, and we look forward to following its continued success in the years ahead.
