Aberdeen Murray Johnstone private equity, the private equity arm of Aberdeen Asset Management, has injected £1.7m (€2.8m) of development capital into Tender Loving Childcare (TLC).

It is the one of the first completed deals since Aberdeen acquired Murray Johnstone and the two firms pooled their private equity operations a month ago. TLC specialises in the provision of workplace nursery and out-of-school provision for children aged up to 11 years.
