Childcare and Education Market Review 2025
Key Themes:
"The first half of 2025 saw exceptional momentum across the childcare and education sectors, significantly outperforming previous years and, indeed, surpassing our predictions. While we anticipated increased activity and consolidation, the scale of market engagement has exceeded expectations. Despite OECD forecasts suggesting the UK would experience the slowest growth among developed nations, the childcare and education markets have defied this trend. Transactional activity, capital values, and buyer appetite have all surged. Notably, businesses are achieving 96% of asking price, and we anticipate double-digit price growth by year-end.”
