St Francis Pre-School sold to experienced operator

Redwoods Dowling Kerr have recently advised the sale of an established pre-school in London, with expert Sales Negotiator Natasha Satterthwaite assisting the sale.

St Francis Pre-School was established in 2013 by the owner, who has run the setting ever since. The pre-school is registered for 24 children aged between 2 and 5, located in the accessible area of West Wickham.

The pre-school prides itself upon giving exemplary levels of care to children and, because of this, has established an excellent reputation in the local area. The versatile space inside the pre-school offers a welcoming feel to children and parents alike, giving children in their care a home from home.

After successfully establishing the nursery over 8 years ago, the owner wished to retire and instructed Redwoods Dowling Kerr in the sale of St Francis Pre-School. Our expert marketing campaign gained significant interest in the pre-school, with 11 viewings and 6 offers.

The pre-school was sold to an existing operator who owns two other settings alongside a child-minding business. The buyer has over a decade of experience in the sector and was drawn to St Francis Pre-School due to its excellent location and the high-quality childcare it provides, amongst many other things.

The buyer said: “Natasha kept in touch with me to ensure a smooth transaction. The service received was good, always prompt with responses. I’m excited to add another setting to my growing group and I hope to be using Redwoods again on my next acquisition!”

Sales Negotiator Natasha Satterthwaite said: “The success the vendor has had in building up such a fantastic business can be seen in the amount of interest and offers we received. I know it was important for the vendor to find the right buyer and I really think we did. I’d like to wish both parties the very best of luck with their future endeavours”.
