Testimonials

Christie & Co is recognised as the experts on the value of an early years business. Their reputation is second to none and their business valuations are never argued with. The whole process was managed professionally, ensuring discretion was paramount. They maintained really good communication with us as the vendor, and the final purchaser. They made the whole process smooth and turbulence free
Ken McArthur, Polly Anna's Daycare Nursery Seller
It was a pleasure working with Christie & Co, who procured more interest and offers in a shorter period of time than we could have reasonably expected. It was a very satisfactory conclusion for all concerned and we wish Tommies all the best.
Adrian Colledge | Karen's Kindergarten Limited Company Secretary
We'd like to thank you again for all your help and securing the sale. The process was so much easier than expected, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any other nursery proprietor looking to sell.
Peter & Louise Kane, Looby Loo's Seller
Selling my nursery was a very difficult decision for me as it had been part of my life for so long. Vicky made the process so much easier, she was on hand to answer any questions and guided me through the process making it as straightforward as possible. Vicky understood the kind of buyer that I was looking for and the importance to me that Safehands kept its family ethos and feel.
Fiona Stevens, Safehands Day Nursery Seller
We have loved every minute of our 19 years as nursery operators, but the time has come to hand over this wonderful little business to a thriving company who will be able to give it the passion, investment and vision for the future that it deserves. We would like to thank Vicky Marsland, our local solicitors and our accountant for all their hard work and professionalism in completing this deal.
