Crèche Attitude significantly reinforces position with Crèches de France acquisition

Crèche Attitude, a subsidiary of Sodexo Group, world leader in Quality of Life Services, accelerates its development in France with Crèches de France acquisition. The operation is part of an ambitious development strategy intended to strengthen its position as the go-to player in the private crèche sector.

Thanks to experience stretching back over fifteen years in caring for children from infants to pre-teens, Crèche Attitude is a major childcare player as part of the Personal and Home Services activity in Sodexo Group. The Crèche Attitude mission is to act on well-being at work and parents’ quality of life by guaranteeing the best possible care for children and their families.

The acquisition of Crèches de France, founded and developed by Philippe Austruy, helps strengthen Crèche Attitude’s geographic coverage particularly in Paris and the south of France. “The integration of the 97 crèches from Crèches de France rounds out our network, growing from 160 to 257 sites, while preserving the level of quality care we provide for children and their families”, stated Marc Jouannic, Managing Director, Crèche Attitude.

"Both Crèche Attitude and Crèches de France pay special attention to the development of infants, to listening, kindness and availability for families, with maximum health and safety."

Crèches de France teams have already begun integrating the Sodexo group to write a new page together in the history of our group in the crèche sector in France.
