Childcare education centres, with over two decades of goodwill, built on genuine relationships with the families, don't come up for sale often.
This early learning centre in the Bay of Plenty has traded for more than twenty years. Currently operating below its licensed capacity, this centre gives an incoming owner room to grow enrolments without adding rooms or restructuring the team. Reputable and trusted by the families it works with, most enrolments to the centre are driven by word of mouth with many families returning with younger siblings.
The centre employs a nature-based learning environment, supported by outdoor learning spaces and strong community ties. An experienced teaching team, both fully and provisionally certificated, is already in place, and a mix of government funding and parent fees underpins a stable revenue base. Revenue has also grown around 8.5% in the past year, with profitability improving alongside it.
Key strengths:
- Over twenty years of trading history and an outstanding local reputation
- Current enrolments below licensed capacity, with an existing waiting list
- Experienced and settled teaching team
- Established Ministry funding and parent fee income
- Nature-based learning environment with strong community and whanau conncctions
- Established, long-term lease in place
The current owner works around a quarter of the week, with an experienced team handling day-to-day teaching and care. The opportunity could suit an owner-operator looking to lead an established centre, or an experienced ECE operator seeking to add a respected centre to an existing group. Vendor support is available well beyond settlement, tailored to the buyer's needs.
