Cosy Corner Day Nursery in Wirral sold to Atherton House Nursery Group

Cosy Corner Day Nursery was established 12 years ago by the previous owner, who has consistently operated a highly successful business, creating a welcoming, ‘home from home’ setting. It has an effective operating capacity for 50 children and holds an exceptional reputation amongst the local community offering first-class early years education for children nought to five years old. The nursery is located in the affluent suburb of Prenton, and operates from an impressive, detached property and a recently refurbished outdoor learning environment.

Following a confidential sales process with Sofia Beck at Christie & Co, it has been purchased by the growing regional group operator, Atherton House Nursery Group, taking the group to seven settings across the North West.

George Apel, Director at Atherton House Nursery Group, comments, “We are incredibly proud to run high-quality education settings across the North West of England. Each of our settings is unique with its own ethos, and we know that when you walk into any of our nurseries you will feel instantly warm and welcomed. We couldn’t do this every day without the hard work and dedication of our incredible team, who we continue to recognise in new ways through our People Team having introduced a new staff childcare bursary, retention bonuses, birthday treats and celebrations of special events. We are so pleased to welcome Cosy Corner Day Nursery into our nursery family.”

Sofia Beck, Associate Director – Childcare & Education at Christie & Co, comments, “This was a confidential sale and proved to be very popular with both existing operators and first-time buyers alike, who saw this setting as an excellent addition to a growing portfolio or a sound entry into the childcare & education sector. Cosy Corner’s sought-after location, renowned reputation, and consistently strong occupancy made it an all-around attractive opportunity despite the general market challenges we have experienced this year. We are delighted to help the Apel Family (Atherton House Nursery Group) secure this nursery, which undoubtedly has further scope and potential for them to build on and explore.”

Cosy Corner Day Nursery was sold for an undisclosed price.
