The Secret Garden Day Nursery Group Sold to Seasoned Operator Returning to Sector

Redwoods Dowling Kerr is pleased to announce the successful sale of The Secret Garden Day Nursery Group, a well established group of two day nurseries and one preschool located in the East Midlands.

Operating across three renovated properties in Nottingham and the surrounding area, the group has built a strong reputation for delivering high quality childcare in safe, nurturing environments. The settings offer a combined capacity for 115 children and benefit from expansive outdoor spaces and well equipped facilities designed to support early years learning and development.

Established for more than 20 years, the nurseries have become trusted providers within their local communities. All three settings are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and are highly rated by parents. The business also presents further opportunity for growth for the buyer, with scope to expand one of the nursery settings in the future.

One of the group’s flagship settings, The Secret Garden Day Nursery in West Bridgford, Nottingham, is located on Musters Road and has earned recognition as a Top 20 Rated Nursery in the East Midlands. The setting provides dedicated rooms for babies, toddlers and pre-school children, supporting development at each stage of early childhood within a caring and stimulating environment.

The group was brought to market as the owner made the decision to retire after two decades in the childcare sector. The business has now been acquired by an experienced operator re-entering the sector who plans to build on the nurseries’ excellent reputation and continue providing high quality childcare to families across the region.

Sarah Ellison, Deputy Manager for Childcare & Education at Redwoods Dowling Kerr – who negotiated the deal and identified the ideal buyer – commented: “This transaction highlights the continued demand for high quality childcare businesses with strong reputations and freehold assets. The Secret Garden Day Nursery Group represents an excellent platform for an operator. This has been an emotional sale for our client after such a long ownership and I would like to wish them all the best for the future and I look forward to seeing the business continue to thrive under its new ownership.”
