Cinven, a private equity house, is assessing a £150m-plus takeover of Mothercare,
the struggling mother-and-baby fashion chain.
The firm, whose previous consumer investments include Peacocks and William Hill, is believed to be looking at the retailer with a view to making a cash offer for the company.
It is known that Cinven has yet to approach Mothercare's board, led by chairman Alan Parker, but is understood to be carrying out detailed work on how a possible takeover might be enacted.
