Redwoods Dowling Kerr Deputy Manager, Sarah Ellison, has facilitated the sale of Craighead Childcare Centre, including its nursery and out-of-school club to a family operator.
Craighead Childcare Centre, located in Milton of Campsie on the outskirts of Glasgow, comprises a well-established nursery opened in October 2012 and an out-of-school club operational since January 1997. Situated adjacent to a local primary school, the centre offers convenient childcare solutions for families in the area.
The nursery operates from a modern property, providing a stimulating environment equipped to the highest standards. It boasts an extensive range of high-quality toys, resources, and children’s furniture essential for its operations.
The out-of-school club, also based on the same site within the community centre, offers spacious accommodation and an outdoor play area, enhancing its appeal to local families seeking reliable after-school care.
Described as a first-class and lucrative business opportunity, the sale represents an ideal investment for the buyer, a family operator already managing five settings within the childcare sector. With recent housing developments in the area contributing to increased demand for childcare services, the acquisition is poised to further bolster the operator’s portfolio.
Vendor Diane Hey, who has managed the centre since its inception, expressed satisfaction in passing on the business to capable hands poised for continued success in the childcare sector. Despite some challenges during the transaction process, Redwoods Dowling Kerr successfully facilitated the sale, ensuring a smooth transition for all parties involved.
Sarah Ellison, from Redwoods Dowling Kerr, extends her best wishes to both parties for a prosperous future:
“It was a pleasure working with Diane to gain a successful sale, Diane had owned the business over 10 years and in that time, she built a successful childcare business with her business partner. Diane came to Redwoods with her desire to retire and pass over the business to another operator who can continue to operate for many more years to come. When meeting Mr & Mrs Iqbal she felt their knowledge and commitment to the childcare sector is exactly who she was looking for, and after some timescale challenges the sale was finally completed, we would like to wish Mr & Mrs Ahmed all the best with their 5th setting and Diane a relaxing retirement.”
