Blacks Business Brokers Completes Successful Leasing Of This Nursery Premises

Blacks Business Brokers has announced the successful leasing of a well-established former children’s day nursery in Ossett, West Yorkshire, marking a significant opportunity for a new operator to revive a long-respected childcare setting. The property, represented and marketed by Blacks Business Brokers, has a rich operational history and remains fully equipped for immediate reoccupation, making it an attractive proposition for early years providers looking for a turnkey solution in a sought-after residential area.

The nursery has played an important role in the Ossett community for more than twenty years. Originally established in 1995 and later acquired by its most recent owner in 2011, the business was purchased because of the owner’s familiarity with the local area and previous sector experience. Although trading has now ceased due to personal circumstances, the setting retains its excellent condition throughout and reflects the care and professionalism with which it was operated. Its longstanding reputation and established presence in the community make the premises an ideal foundation for a new operator to bring the nursery back into operation.

Located in a peaceful residential area of Ossett, the site offers the kind of safe, accessible, and family-friendly environment that parents consistently seek for early years childcare. While quiet and self-contained, it still benefits from close proximity to local amenities and residential catchments, lending it strong commercial appeal. The nursery’s previous success was supported not only by its service quality but also by its strategic location, which has remained a key advantage despite the business no longer trading. For a new operator, the combination of neighbourhood trust, familiarity, and convenience presents a compelling opportunity to reintroduce childcare services in an area where demand remains strong.

The premises themselves are arranged over two floors and registered for thirty-nine children. Throughout the building, the internal layout promotes natural light, spaciousness, and suitability for early years development. On the ground floor, incoming operators will find two bright playrooms that provide flexible learning spaces, complemented by a conservatory area that can serve as an additional activity space. A well-equipped catering kitchen, which proudly holds a five-star food hygiene rating, makes meal preparation straightforward and efficient. The first floor adds two further playrooms along with a manager’s office and a staff room, ensuring the operational and administrative functions of a nursery can be managed with ease.

Externally, the nursery benefits from a private car park accommodating up to eight vehicles, offering convenient drop-off and pick-up arrangements for families. Surrounding three sides of the building is a secure outdoor play area, thoughtfully arranged and well maintained. This external space is an essential component of any successful early years environment, supporting physical development, imaginative play, and exploration. The quality of the outdoor setting significantly enhances the site’s overall appeal and has long been regarded as one of its standout features.

As the business is no longer trading, there is currently no active revenue. However, its historical success and positive reputation within the local community signal strong potential for profitability under new leadership. The client will be granting a new lease on terms to be agreed, delivering essential flexibility to the incoming purchaser and allowing them to shape the business model, brand, staffing structure, and operational approach to match contemporary childcare standards and family expectations.

A further benefit for the new operator is the inclusion of all fixtures, fittings, and learning resources within the sale. Everything required to resume operations is already in place, from children’s furniture and play equipment to educational resources and outdoor apparatus. These assets remain in excellent condition and represent a significant cost saving for the buyer, allowing them to focus investment on staffing, marketing, and rebranding rather than rebuilding the environment from scratch. This turnkey nature makes the site particularly attractive for both experienced providers and those looking to expand their portfolio.

This opportunity stands out for its combination of established heritage, strong location, high-quality internal and external spaces, and operational readiness. With vacant possession and a new lease available, the incoming operator can reimagine the nursery according to their vision while benefiting from the robust foundation already in place. Ossett’s family-oriented community provides fertile ground for growth, and with the right strategic direction, the site is well positioned to become a thriving childcare setting once again.

Chelsea Melnyk, Sales Negotiator at Blacks Business Brokers, commented that the property has generated notable interest because it offers the rare chance to acquire a fully equipped nursery in such a well-regarded residential area. She stated that the quality of the premises, combined with its history and community recognition, gives new operators an excellent springboard for success. She added that she is delighted to have secured the lease and is confident that the new tenant has all the essential tools to rebuild a valued local childcare service.
