Small nursery group Leaps and Bounds (Scotland) has acquired Abbey Mill Childcare in a deal facilitated by Redwoods Dowling Kerr (RDK).

The setting, which has been providing childcare for more than two decades, is registered for more than 90 children from birth to 5 years old. The previous owner decided to sell in order to retire.

Stephanie Quinn, childcare and education sales negotiator at RDK, said: “This was a fantastic nursery to bring to market, and I’m thrilled to see it passed on to a motivated new owner who shares the same values. The seller was committed to ensuring a smooth transition for the staff and families, and it’s been a pleasure supporting them throughout the journey. I’m very proud to have been involved in this successful outcome.”

Leaps and Bounds (Scotland) previously purchased a setting through RDK in 2022.
