Nature-led day nursery in Northumberland sold for the first time

Established in 1990, Meadows Children’s Nursery is a unique setting that caters for up to 92 children at one time. Its founder, Margaret Taylor, believed that being outdoors is an important aspect in a child’s learning experience, thus created a homely, nature-led day nursery setting, whereby the food they eat is grown on site and the milk is produced at a local farm. Over the years, the nursery has gone from strength to strength; enjoying consistently high occupancy levels thanks to its glowing reputation and word-of-mouth referrals, as well as and a handful of industry awards.

The setting was brought to market to allow Margaret to enjoy a well-earned retirement.

Following a sales process with Grace Day at Christie & Co, it has been purchased by Kids Planet Day Nurseries, which now owns over 240 settings across the UK.

Grace Day, Business Agent – Childcare & Education at Christie & Co, comments, “Meadows Children’s Nursery has been one of the most remarkable nurseries I’ve had the pleasure to sell. From the outset, it was clear that Margaret and her team had built something truly special, an environment filled with care, dedication, and a deep commitment to children’s development. I'm thrilled to have helped Margaret sell her nursery, which I know was a difficult decision for her to make. She entrusted us to confidentially identify a purchaser who would continue her legacy with care and integrity, and we’re delighted that Meadows Children’s Nursery has been acquired by Kids Planet, a group known for its commitment to quality early years education. I wish Margaret and her husband, Bill, all the best for the future.”

Meadows Children’s Nursery was sold for an undisclosed price.
