Although children's nurseries are catering for 'customers' at the other end of the age spectrum to care homes, they actually have quite a lot in common with care home businesses - at least in so far as their business model goes.  Control of costs - particularly staff costs - is absolutely vital to the success of a nursery business, as is ensuring optimal occupancy levels.

At Condies, we have a great deal of experience in helping both children's nurseries and care homes to grow - in the case of one nursery group, we assisted the management to grow from initial start up to becoming the largest nursery group in Scotland, before its owners’ successful exit.  During the growth phase, we helped the company’s management with financial forecasting, acquisition finance and due diligence investigations of target businesses.  Of course, at the other end of the scale, we act for several children’s nursery businesses with just a single nursery, and have been able to apply our expertise in ensuring these businesses provide their owners with the maximum possible returns.

If you think we could help you to achieve the full potential from your nursery business, contact Ian Condie and he will be happy to discuss this with you.
