Redwoods Dowling Kerr is pleased to announce the sale of Chuckles (UK) Ltd, a well-established childcare business located in Hutton, Brentwood, Essex.
Celebrating 20 years of operation, Chuckles (UK) Ltd has built an excellent reputation as a trusted provider of breakfast and after-school clubs, serving families within a strong, community focused catchment area. The business operates from two integrated school-based settings and is regarded as an essential extension of the schools’ wraparound childcare provision.
The business benefits from a loyal and consistent customer base and is widely recognised for its commitment to safety, compliance and high-quality care. Both settings provide a safe, welcoming, and child-friendly environment designed to support early learning and development, with well-maintained indoor and outdoor spaces that encourage engagement, exploration and physical activity.
The sale was negotiated by Bradley Wilson, Sales Negotiator for Childcare & Education at Redwoods Dowling Kerr, and attracted strong interest due to the business’s excellent reputation, community presence, and opportunities for future growth. These include the potential introduction of holiday clubs, additional childcare services, or replicating the successful model in other high-demand areas.
Chuckles (UK) Ltd was acquired by a new market entrant, reflecting confidence in the UK childcare sector and the growing demand for high-quality wraparound care.
Bradley said of the sale, “Chuckles (UK) Ltd is a well established and highly respected business with a loyal client base and a strong community presence. It has been a pleasure to work with the vendors to secure a sale to a new owner who can continue its excellent reputation and explore exciting opportunities for growth in the local area.”
