‘Finding the right property in the right location is crucial to building a successful business, we have a team of expert property consultants supported by the latest mapping technology to find the perfect childcare nursery setting for you’
From start to finish we are there to help you find the perfect property for your nursery. At Monkey Puzzle, we grow our network of nurseries organically; we find, secure, and fit-out suitable properties for conversion to a children’s day nursery. With over 70 nurseries across the UK, we have a wealth of experience and pride ourselves on working collaboratively with our stakeholders to deliver high quality childcare within high quality premises.
The first stage involves helping you find the property itself; we have strong relationships with many commercial agents and investors within the industry and also have an expert property consultant to help further our search.
Once we have sourced a site for you, we will assess its potential as a childcare nursery. We do this through the use of cutting edge technology for customer and catchment mapping. If the site appears suitable at this stage, we conduct local market research to assess demand and fee levels in the area.
After completing our initial due diligence, we help to negotiate and secure the deal for you. We do this by continually reviewing your cashflow to ensure the business will thrive. Our dedicated Franchise Director and Franchise Development Manager have a wealth of experience in this area and will always consider what is best for the long-term health of the business.
