Children’s Play Centre and Café in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well established and popular children’s play centre and café business, which is ideally located in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire. The business was established by our client in 2009 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s other business interests. The business currently operates 7 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £150,000 per annum, with a good gross profit. Our client offers a fully air conditioned play gym, with lots of toys, games, play structures, slides, a ball pool, a football pitch, plus much more. Diddy Middy’s has become a premium place for birthday parties with their combination of good food, great party hosts and lots of activities including face painting, themed parties, piñata’s and dance parties, to name a few. Located within Diddy Middy’s is a high quality café, which boasts a varied food menu, which is all freshly prepared and cooked that includes homemade soups, and freshly baked cakes, complimented by top quality freshly ground coffee or maybe spoil yourself with Yorkshire Dales fresh scoop ice cream in a waffle cone or if you really want a treat a banana split. All the fayre is prepared and cooked in the 5-star hygiene kitchen. The business has built up an enviable reputation within the area for the very high quality of the service and food offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by opening on Sundays. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the service offered.

The business is owner run and managed with 5 x staff members.
