UK nursery brand Mamas & Papas has completed a refinancing that it says strengthens its capital structure and positions the business to deliver the next phase of its growth strategy.
The transaction sees existing investor Bluegem Capital Partners reinvest alongside several new investors, including Cheyne Capital.
Mamas & Papas, which designs and retails own-brand nursery furniture, travel systems, clothing and mother and baby accessories, says the deal reflects strong investor confidence in its market leadership and strategy, following a record financial year in which the business achieved significant milestones.
In the 12 months to 30th March 2026, the business delivered revenue growth of 4% to £170m and EBITDA growth of 21% to £14.5m, building its market share to around 25% and becoming "the UK's category leader".
The business has also invested significantly in the Mamas & Papas brand while expanding its range of third-party brands.
Steve Parkin, executive chairman of Mamas & Papas, says: "This refinancing is a vote of confidence in our strategy, performance, market leadership and forward potential, and provides a strengthened capital structure to support the execution of that strategy.
"Our focus remains unchanged – building an even stronger Mamas & Papas brand worldwide and growing our community of new and expectant parents who rely on us for the best advice, design, quality and range. This is what drives sustainable growth in our category.”
The business says all channels contributed to its FY26 performance, thanks to continued investment in its concession presence, standalone stores, online operation and international footprint.
The brand’s British-designed range is now available in over 30 countries worldwide.
