About this business
A single-site day nursery in a residential part of Preston, caring for babies, toddlers and pre-school children from early morning to early evening. It trades from leased premises with 9 staff, and opened in 2020. Turnover has been steady, edging up from £287k in 2021 to £300k, while EBITDA has grown every year from £23k to £32k. The margin of about 11% is modest for a nursery. A buyer gets a working setting with staff in place and room to improve fees or opening patterns.
