privateequity, nurseries, childcare

According to @ft@birdsite.blazelight.dev #PrivateEquity is snapping up UK #nurseries . The business model is apparently “consolidate for economies of scale”, although one suspects an industry that can get away with a lot of leverage is also attractive. Even taking them at their word: the idea that you can replicate human interactions at scale is dangerous nonsense. Good #Childcare is about individual care, not about good recipes for it. And that’s to say nothing about the effect on prices.
