History[edit]
Founded in France in 2003 by entrepreneurial brothers Rodolphe and Edouard Carle[1] to bridge the gap in childcare solutions, Babilou has gradually grown to become a large international operator in early years education. Rodolphe & Edouard began with one nursery and 24 cots. Five years later, they became the leading private childcare network in France. In 2013 they started the international expansion, quickly expanding across the globe through acquisition of local brands[2].
Babilou Family Brand was officially born in 2019 to give a corporate umbrella to the local nursery brands. With the support of Antin Infrastructure Partners[3], which acquired an equity stake in the company at the end of 2020, the Groupe entered a new stage in its development. Xavier Ouvrard was appointed in early 2021 Chairman and CEO of Babilou Family���.
