Following the recent sale of Little Learners Sunderland Ltd in the North East of England, Redwoods Dowling Kerr has once again supported Kids Planet with another acquisition.
The nursery was purchased in 2003 by the former owners. At the time, the setting had a capacity of 28 children. The setting was extended between 2004 and 2005 and the capacity increased to 76 children. The nursery was extended further in the following years and as of 2007, has a capacity of 88 children from birth to eight years of age.
The nursery operates out of a substantial carefully converted and modernised freehold property.
Little Learners was acquired by Kids Planet Nurseries and further enhances their presence within the North East. The nursery will be joining their existing portfolio, taking them to 186 childcare settings throughout the UK.
Beverly Smith, former owner of Little Learners, said:
“I was very happy. I found RDK very professional and very upfront. They kept me up to date with everything that was happening. I would highly recommend RDK and would advise anyone looking to sell to use an agent. We tried to sell privately and RDK took all that hard work away.
I had mixed emotions about the sale as I have had the business for such a long time and most of the staff have been with it from the beginning. I am happy I sold to Kids Planet and feel they really care about the business and will look after the staff.”
Childcare Broker Stephanie Quinn stated:
“I am delighted to have assisted our client with the sale of Little Learners. I understand that it was a difficult decision for them to make, but ultimately, they felt it was necessary to sell to enjoy some well-deserved quality time together. They were confident that Kids Planet would take over the business and continue the excellent work they had started, providing care and support to the current staff, children, and parents.”
