Mace Montessori Schools was a chain of nursery schools in London. Mace opened its original school near Russell Square in 2005. Since then the business had grown to ten schools and had consistently acquired and maintained a strong reputation in its local areas for outstanding care for young children.
We invested in the business in 2012 and Caphaven joined the Board to facilitate a faster expansion of Mace and to introduce stronger systems, processes and management structures. Since then the business opened and acquired a series of new schools and more than quadrupled sales and EBITDA.
Caphaven actively helped develop Mace’s growth and acquisition strategy as well as its systems and operations.
In May 2018 Mace Montessori was sold to Busy Bees, the largest UK operator of nursery schools. The MoM multiple realised on the investment in Mace was approximately 9x.
