First Steps Nursery sold to Woodland Outdoor Kindergartens

First Steps Nursery Schools Limited located in Irvine sold to Woodland Outdoor Kindergartens in a deal facilitated by Redwoods Dowling Kerr.

First Steps is an excellent children’s day nursery located in Irvine, Scotland. The setting operates out of an impressive well established property and is registered for 72 children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age.

Established in 1996, the nursery enjoys excellent relationships with local authorities leading to many recommendations and referrals, as well as historically high occupancy levels.

Our client’s comments on the RDK sales process were: “It was a long slow process, but Sarah, our business broker, always kept me informed. It was the right time for me to sell as I wished to retire due to health reasons and age. I cannot praise Sarah enough. She has been magnificent from start to finish. I think I would have given up the sale if it hadn’t been for her. I feel relieved now that the sale has finally come to completion. Definitely would recommend RDK, without a shadow of a doubt. Sarah has the patience of a saint. She is so good at her job. As advice to other buyers, I would say: Do your homework and make sure all necessary documents and policies are in place. This is not a quick process.”

Childcare Broker Sarah Ellison stated: “The seller came to Redwoods with her desire to retire from the Childcare Sector. The seller built the nursery nearly 30 years and has gone from strength to strength. It was great to help the seller achieve a well-deserved retirement and find her the perfect buyers to hopefully continue for the next 30 years.”
