Bradley Bar Day Nursery sold to local group

Bradley Bar Day Nursery located in West Yorkshire was sold to local group in a deal facilitated by Redwoods Dowling Kerr

Bradley Bar Day Nursery was established in 1990 and acquired by the previous owner in 2000. The setting is currently registered for 59 children from birth to five years of age with the potential to remodel the premises to further increase capacity. The nursery was rated ‘good’ in its latest inspection.

The nursery was founded with the vision of providing high standards of childcare to meet the demand in the local area. Since then, the setting has been on a path of continuous improvement, earning an enviable reputation within the local area.

Portland Nurseries Ltd is a family-owned group of four private day nurseries in Huddersfield that has been in operation for over 20 years and is looking to expand their business.

The clients’ commented: “This has been a very difficult transaction, trying to sell the nursery during the pandemic (we launched in Jan 2020) and a buyer who was only willing to be led by his lawyer. That said, we did find a buyer at a price that was acceptable to the seller, and Natasha did a terrific ‘herding’ role in trying to keep all stakeholders on track and keep communication lines flowing.”

Childcare broker Natasha Satterthwaite stated: “It was a long road to reach completion on this one, but I’m so glad we did. The business went from strength to strength even during the sales process which just confirms how successful the previous vendor was. I’m sure we found the right buyer and that they will continue the successes seen over the years.”
