SPECIALIST business property adviser Christie & Co has announced the sale of Caterpillars Childcare in Farnham for an undisclosed price.

Established by Rebecca Harraway in 2016, Caterpillars Childcare is a private nursery which provides care for up to 43 children aged from babies to five years. The business operates from a single-storey detached property, and also has a purpose-built outdoor play area.

Mrs Harraway decided to sell to focus on other career opportunities and, after a confidential marketing process, the business was sold to a first-time buyer duo.

Sophie Willcox, director of childcare and education at Christie & Co, which handled the sale, said: “I am delighted to have found the right buyer for Rebecca to carry on her legacy.

“The setting upholds an excellent reputation and an experienced staff team which make it the ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer.

“The 2022 nursery market is shaping up really well so far, with demand for leasehold and freehold good-quality nurseries being the highest we have ever seen across the south in recent years.”
