Rise N Shine Nursery buys Catford setting

Rise N Shine Nursery in east London has acquired Rushey Green Nursery in Catford, in a sale facilitated by Redwoods Dowling Kerr (RDK).
The nursery is registered for 70 children from six months to five years. It operates from a three-storey building with additional basement space, as well as a two-storey coach house, an outdoor play area and a large garden.
Rise N Shine Nursery said it was attracted by the setting’s reputation, location and significant growth potential.
Sarah Ellison, deputy manager for childcare and education at RDK, said: “It has been a privilege to work with the previous owners of Rushey Green Nursery and to secure such a well-matched buyer in Rise N Shine Nursery. This is a fantastic outcome for both parties and ensures the continued success of a highly respected setting.”
