In BBC's Dragons' Den, which Dragon founded the childcare company Just Learning?

The story behind the answer

In BBC's Dragons' Den, Duncan Bannatyne founded the childcare company Just Learning.

Bannatyne entered the childcare sector after building businesses in other fields, including ice cream and nursing homes. Just Learning became a significant nursery operator, giving him experience in expanding a service business through multiple locations. This venture formed an important part of the business story behind his television career.

Bannatyne joined Dragons' Den in 2005 and remained a Dragon until 2014. Viewers sometimes associate him primarily with his later health-club and hotel interests, but his childcare company was one of his notable early commercial achievements. The name Just Learning is distinct from later nursery brands and from the businesses pitched by entrepreneurs during his time on the programme.
