CoGoGo are excited to present to the market Marvel Day Nursery.
The nursery occupies a unique site on a community shopping street which results in constant footfall 7 days a week.
The nursery first opened its doors in February 2014 and due to a change in direction is placed for sale, the nursery is currently closed but as you can see from the pictures below is fully equipped to re-open straight away.
Our client completely transformed the closed down shop units and spent over £75,000 turning the space into a spacious nursery, registered for 33 children now the nursery could easily accommodate 40. (The space is split approx. 25 in the toddler’s room and 10 in the baby room).
When open the nursery operated Monday to Friday 07.30- 18.30, offering both governments funded children’s spaces as well as part time/full time privately funded spaces paying from £500-£1,000 per month.
The key values of the nursery include -
- Making friends & friendship.
- Table manners.
- Celebrating British authors & illustrators.
- Cooking, eating & learning about traditional British food.
- Kindness, being helpful & respectful of others.
- Teaching empathy & understanding.
- Learning about our heritage & history.
- Learning British weather seasons.
- Tolerating others & mutual respect.
- Being part of a local community through outings & partnerships with local schools, nurseries.
- Being polite, saying please & thank you.
Very rarely do nurseries of this standard, size and location come onto the open market and we believe the unique selling points will ensure much attention -
- Secure mid terraced parade location with free parking.
- 2 x outside spaces well positioned at the rear of the property.
- New 10-year lease with very low rent for the size.
- Council owned and maintained property.
- Zero rates now to be applied (as of the March 2020 budget announcement).
- Previously operated with 40 children with a constant waiting list.
- Previous turnover of approx. £150,000.
- Highly dense residential area with lots of families looking for nursery spaces.
- Opportunity to open at weekends.
- Flexible space could easily provide a centre for rest bite or more specialist care services, children’s yoga/ exercise classes.
- ‘Turnkey’ opportunity with no asset investment required.
- Instant places to be filled by new advertising and nursery website/ Facebook page.
This part of Orpington is graduating, expanding and any experienced children’s nursery would gladly appreciate the environment created.
We believe any similar space would cost around £100,000 to establish from scratch.
No staff currently.
MONDAY - FRIDAY: 07.30 - 18.30 (currently closed)
SATURDAY/ SUNDAY: closed
** opening hours could be extended, and a weekend added
