The company reported a 9 per cent year on year increase in quarterly revenues and a 23 per cent year on year increase in quarterly income from operations.

Increases in enrolments across its childcare centre network, including from new centre additions, as well as good performances from the back up care and educational advisory divisions combined with an average fee increase of between 3 and 4 per cent across the network to contribute to the strong revenue performance.

The company continues to invest in the business with a focus on improving the customer user experience, service delivery and operating efficiency.

Mr Kramer also noted his pride at the company being awarded one of Fortune magazine’s “Best Workplaces for Women” in its best employers for women survey.
