The service was professional and supportive, and enabled a smooth transition into the new setting. Thank you.”
The freehold business has successfully operated in the locality since 1987, and during that time, has earned a truly enviable reputation with historically high occupancy levels. The vendor, Mr Louis Westerbeek, decided to bring the business to the market due to personal reasons.
The nursery operates from an impressive detached period premises, which provides well-appointed nursery accommodation.

The setting itself was said to attract the buyer to the business – feeling that the location of the business also complimented their ever expanding portfolio.
Sarah Ellison, Senior Childcare Negotiator comments: “It was fantastic to work with Mrs Bellamy from Poppy and Jacks Limited again, and help her acquire another setting. It was also a pleasure to help Mr Westerbeek sell Hillcrest Nursery and allow him to continue on with other business interests.”
