Blacks Business Brokers Completes Successful Sale Of Wishing Well Nurseries Limited

Blacks Business Brokers is delighted to announce the successful sale of Wishing Well Nurseries Limited, a highly regarded and long-established childcare provider based in Worcester.

Established in 1994, the business has become a cornerstone of early years education and childcare in the region, known for its exceptional reputation, loyal customer base, and strong Ofsted ratings.Founded by its previous owner more than three decades ago, Wishing Well Nurseries Limited has grown steadily to encompass three thriving childcare settings: two nurseries and one dedicated kids club.

The business’s freehold nursery is situated at 76 Droitwich Road, Worcester, WR3 7HT, with two further leasehold operations based at Rainbow Hill, Three Counties House, WR3 8LX, and at St. Georges Catholic Primary School, Thorneloe Walk, WR1 3JY. These locations were carefully chosen for their accessibility, convenience, and proximity to schools, residential areas, and local amenities — a combination that has supported the company’s ongoing success and stability over the years.

Each setting offers a warm, nurturing, and educationally stimulating environment designed with the needs of children and families at its heart. The Droitwich Road nursery provides spaces for 18 children under the age of two and 24 preschoolers, operating at an impressive 90% occupancy. The Rainbow Hill setting accommodates 54 children and maintains a healthy 75% occupancy, while the Wishing Well Kids Club caters for up to 30 children and currently operates at around 65%. Across all locations, the emphasis on quality care, safety, and development has earned the business an enviable reputation within the community.

Wishing Well Nurseries Limited’s commitment to providing safe, engaging, and creative environments for children is reflected in its well-equipped facilities, thoughtfully designed interiors, and age-appropriate learning resources. The premises across all three settings are maintained to a high standard, featuring a wide range of toys, educational materials, and play equipment that encourage growth, imagination, and learning through play. Each location has been developed and managed with an exceptional attention to detail, ensuring that both children and parents feel supported and valued.

This dedication has been further demonstrated through consistently strong Ofsted ratings and glowing reviews on social media platforms, including Facebook and Google. The business’s robust online presence and comprehensive website have further strengthened its profile, enabling it to attract new families while maintaining long-term relationships with returning clients. Word-of-mouth recommendations have also been a key driver of success, reinforcing the trust and goodwill that the brand has built in Worcester over many years.

The decision to sell Wishing Well Nurseries Limited marked an important step for the outgoing owner, who was seeking to pass the business on to new hands capable of sustaining and building upon its solid foundations. Recognising the value and heritage of the business, the seller turned to Blacks Business Brokers to manage the sale. With decades of experience in the sale of childcare, education, and franchise businesses, Blacks was the natural choice to oversee the transaction, ensuring a smooth and confidential process that respected the legacy of the company and the needs of its staff and clients.

Speaking about the sale, Chelsea Melnyk, Sales Negotiator at Blacks Business Brokers, commented:

This is a wonderful example of how established nurseries with strong reputations can achieve great results when marketed correctly through our extensive database and professional network.”
