Confidential opportunity to acquire an established, fully operational day nursery in Buckinghamshire.
The nursery benefits from an experienced staff team already in place, an established base of children and families, and income generated through both private fees and government-funded childcare places.
Recent trading indicates annualised turnover of approximately £680,000.
Current occupancy is approximately 51%, providing substantial scope for an incoming owner or existing nursery group to increase utilisation and grow turnover using the existing infrastructure and staffing already in place.
The business operates from leasehold premises with a 15-year lease, providing long-term security for an incoming purchaser.
This opportunity may particularly suit an established nursery operator, regional or national childcare group, existing nursery owner looking to expand, or suitably experienced and funded childcare professional.
The shareholders are seeking a confidential sale and the nursery name and exact location will therefore not be disclosed publicly.
Further financial and operational information will be made available to suitably qualified interested parties following an initial discussion and completion of a confidentiality agreement.

Business Operation
- Expansion Potential:
-
Current occupancy is approximately 51%, providing substantial scope to increase child numbers without the need to establish a new setting from scratch. The existing staffing structure, premises and operational infrastructure provide a strong base from which a new owner could grow turnover and profitability.
There may also be opportunities to strengthen local marketing, referral relationships and funded-place uptake, and to make fuller use of the available capacity.
- Competition / Market:
-
As with most established childcare markets, there are other nursery and early years providers within the wider area. However, the business has an established base of children and families, existing private and funded income streams, and significant capacity for further growth. A purchaser with strong local marketing and referral networks may be well placed to increase market share.

The shareholders have decided to explore a sale of the business as part of a change in personal and business priorities.
