Jean-Emmanuel Rodocanachi: Founder
Created in 2000, Les Petits Chaperons Rouges is a pioneer in employer-sponsored nurseries and is now the number two private player in the French nursery market. Its Grandir network offers clients a choice of nearly 1,400 nurseries, with 400 operated directly by the group. More than 1,000 clients (companies, public authorities and local communities)
currently place their trust in Les Petits Chaperons Rouges, including many major groups. Les Petits Chaperons Rouges also stands out through its leading position in France in the growing Public Service Delegation and micro-nursery segments.
Les Petits Chaperons Rouges is recognized for its support with parenting, the professionalism and fervor of its teams, and its solid educational project based on the best educational trends, as well as its first-rate reception of families. Les Petits Chaperons Rouges is the first private nursery operator to obtain the Crèch’EXPERT quality certification, attributed by SGS Qualicert (74 nurseries certified to date, with all nurseries to be certified by 2018). Europe-wide, with its investment in the German player, Infanterix, in 2016, and the purchase of two British players, Magic Nurseries and more recently Kiddi Caru, the Grandir Group (operating under the Les Petits Chaperons Rouges brand) now manages over 14,000 daycare and nursery places, 30% outside France. It is a leading player in early learning, education and parenting in the three most densely populated European countries: France, Germany and the UK.
