An Agency With Real Day Nursery Experience
Bernard Gordon & Co. have a long history of helping clients secure premises suitable for childcare businesses, primarily in London and the southeast of England.
Our team brings knowledge and expertise and understands the complexities of the day nursery and use class E property market. We recognise how outside space is vital, that parking and drop-off areas are desirable, that the size of the property must accommodate a number of children and have the potential to expand and we can even advise on the required planning permission to do so in many cases. We have a variety of sites available, all of which offer something different.
Please contact us if you have a specific requirement; we would be delighted to assist.
We have worked in this property sector since 1993 and have been involved with hundreds of lettings, sales, acquisitions, and disposals of day nurseries. We have seen the market grow, including changes from the former D1 use class to new opportunities now being available given the planning legislation amendments to use class E-commercial premises.
We have seen an influx of private equity and venture capital-backed firms seeking vast, rapid expansion, and government legislation changes that allow free childcare places for certain age groups for several hours a week.
We consider many relevant factors to ensure we can offer suitable day nursery properties. For instance, we keep up to date on Ofsted and government legislation around childcare, we’re familiar with the staffing issues many in the childcare sector are dealing with, and know that the right location with suitable demand is vital. We have dealt with many use class E properties on a subject-to-planning basis, and therefore there may be properties that you may not deem appropriate, but we see from a different angle and can assist and advise through the development process to create the ideal space for your requirements.
