sector with an unsurpassed track record in terms of volume and market share. At
any one time, we can have as many as 200 children’s day nurseries on the market

are sold on a confidential basis and details may not be readily available
unless a confidentiality statement is signed. We have dealt with numerous
corporate acquisitions and disposals and have acted for Nord Anglia (Leapfrog),
BUPA (Teddies) and have sold many small group operators (3-10 nurseries) to
market consolidators.

Care Homes
This sector is a long standing area of specialisation for Redwoods Dowling
Kerr. Recent years have seen prices spiral as a result of strong
demand from operators and investors. This is a sector which has undergone
substantial change and historically there has been an imbalance between buyers
and sellers where opportunities are few and far between. If you are searching
for a business in this sector, make sure you register with an email address so
details can be dispatched to you at the earliest opportunity. If you are
contemplating a sale of your care home, we have a comprehensive range of buyers
including corporate buyers and investors looking for traditional care homes
through to the more specialized segments of this sector including learning
difficulty and high dependence care.

Kennels, Catteries, Equestrian
These lifestyle businesses more often than not include substantial freehold
property often with acreage. They offer the chance to acquire
an income producing business and to work in an area / sector where you are
passionate about what you do. They are businesses which are “hands on” and more
often than not offer a rural retreat and home which is situated within pleasant
surroundings. Consequently, they are in great demand. We have a great selection
of these types of businesses to choose from throughout the UK.
