Honeypots Preschool Walton sold to an Existing Operator

Honeypots Preschool Walton located in Surrey was sold to an Existing Operator in a deal facilitated by Redwoods Dowling Kerr.

Honeypots Preschool Walton was established by the current owner in 2003 due to a lack of quality childcare in the area. The setting is registered for 38 children aged between two and five years.

Operating from a detached building, Honeypots Preschool Walton has a large, spacious classroom which is separated into zones for different age and learning areas. The setting also offers an outdoor play area with artificial grass and a covered veranda that covers the length of the building allowing all weather play.

The buyer already runs another nursery in Surrey and was attracted to Honeypots Preschool Walton because of the similarities between their current setting and this one. The new owner intends to continue running the establishment while embracing their childcare industry skills to grow the business even further.

Our client’s comments on the RDK sales process were: “Redwoods Dowling Kerr are very prompt and provides good communication. I was looking for a fast moving and proven buyer who will nurture and progress the business further. RDK were professional and very experienced.”

The buyer confirmed: “The experience with Redwoods Dowling Kerr was very positive as the team made sure that they didn’t lose momentum. Kim was very proactive and supportive throughout the process. We are very excited to be welcoming a new setting into our nursery family and we look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care in a nurturing environment. We would absolutely recommend RDK – the level of support and guidance was fantastic.”

Childcare Broker Kim Emsley stated: “After receiving a good amount of initial interest, it was refreshing to find a buyer who already runs a similar type of business in a similar setting and due to this, will be able to propel the business whilst maintaining the integrity and ethos that our client worked so hard to build. This was really important to our client and to ensure staff were looked after throughout the transition. I do need to mention the sheer dedication from our client and working with ourselves through to completion. I would like to take the time to wish our client and the buyers the very best of luck for the future.”
