Group of three nursery settings sold by Redwoods Dowling Kerr

Redwoods Dowling Kerr are delighted to announce the sale of Project Stone, a group of three renowned day nursery settings based in Southampton.

The nurseries have a total combined capacity of 261 children across their leasehold locations and are conveniently connected to the surrounding areas, with excellent transport links and moments away from the M27 and A33.

The nurseries have a fantastic reputation with parents across Southampton for providing first-class care and interactive activities, delivering a perfect environment for children to achieve the highest possible levels of learning.

The Directors are supported by a robust organisational structure in place across the three nursery locations, with an experienced team of managers who can confidently ensure smooth day-to-day operations, along with a cohort of highly qualified and proactive staff.

Care staff possess all relevant certifications and qualifications, including first aid and food hygiene certificates and an NVQ Level 3 in childcare.

Brokered by Natasha Satterthwaite, Childcare Negotiator at Redwoods Dowling Kerr, this excellent opportunity received six viewings and was purchased by Hopscotch Day Nursery Group, a renowned operator of five nursery settings in Portsmouth.

The buyer was attracted to the business by its enviable location and long-established reputation within the area. Now the new owner has plans to continue the growth of the settings.

Upon completion of the sale Natasha Satterthwaite said: “Both parties have always been a pleasure to deal with throughout the transaction.

“I have the confidence that Hopscotch will be able to bring the business back to its maximum potential.

“I’d like to wish them both the best of luck in the future.”
