Annie’s Nursery was originally established by our clients in 2000 and quickly became a valued part of the local community. Operating as a daycare facility for children from birth to five years old, the business was registered for 25 places and built a strong reputation for providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children. Over the course of more than two decades, the nursery supported countless families in the area, becoming a cornerstone service for working parents. The business ultimately closed in October 2024 as the owners made the decision to retire, creating an opportunity for a new owner to take on a well-located and thoughtfully designed childcare premises.

The property itself occupies a prominent trading position within a highly sought-after residential area of Insch. The surrounding neighbourhood is well populated and benefits from a range of nearby amenities including a school, supermarket, playground, and several restaurants. This makes the location particularly attractive for a childcare business, as it is conveniently positioned for local families. The area also benefits from excellent connectivity via the A96, along with strong public transport links, ensuring accessibility for staff and customers alike. In addition, parking is readily available in the immediate vicinity, adding further convenience.

The premises are presented as an attractive single-storey property, complete with a play area and gardens to the front. The exterior features prominent branding and signage, ensuring strong visibility within the local area. Internally, the layout has been carefully designed with functionality and comfort in mind. A welcoming reception area leads through to two spacious open-plan playrooms, both of which are bright, well-maintained, and designed to accommodate a variety of activities. The property also includes a dedicated kitchen, office space, toilet and changing facilities, all finished to a high standard.

One of the key strengths of the premises is the seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces. Both playrooms benefit from direct access to fully equipped outdoor play areas, allowing children to move freely between environments and enjoy a well-rounded daycare experience. Safety and comfort are clearly prioritised throughout the property, making it ideally suited for continued use within the childcare sector or for alternative community-focused purposes, subject to the necessary approvals. Purchasers are advised to make enquiries with relevant local authorities to confirm any applicable rates.

All fixtures and fittings were included in the sale, ensuring a turnkey opportunity for the incoming owner. From play equipment to essential operational features, the property was fully equipped to support a smooth transition and immediate use.
