Abacus Day Nursery Sales Facilitates Successful Sale of Award-Winning Smallville Nursery in Snodland
Abacus Day Nursery Sales is delighted to announce the successful sale of Smallville Nursery, a leading early years provider located in the heart of Snodland, Kent. This exceptional business, founded in 2021, has quickly become a cornerstone of early childhood education in the region. Known for its Montessori-inspired approach, “in the moment” planning, and award-winning practices, Smallville Nursery represents a unique blend of creativity, community engagement and educational excellence.
From the outset, Smallville Nursery set itself apart with its focus on child-led learning. Catering to children between the ages of two and four, the nursery offers an enriching environment where children are empowered to explore, play and grow through a carefully curated curriculum. Weekly lessons in Spanish, science, yoga, music and dance are complemented by an array of immersive workshops and seasonal events. These have included everything from bird of prey encounters and space day celebrations to Christmas markets, parent picnics, and cultural enrichment activities that capture the imagination of both children and their families.
This commitment to excellence was recognised on a national level when Smallville Nursery was named “Individual Nursery of the Year” at the prestigious NMT Awards. With a “GOOD” Ofsted rating, a comprehensive website, and outstanding customer reviews on platforms like Google, Smallville built a loyal client base in record time. Most new enrolments come through personal referrals and repeat custom, a testament to the trust and satisfaction of local families.
The nursery operates from a charming single-storey property situated within the peaceful grounds of a historic church building. Its location in an affluent and family-friendly residential area of Snodland is second to none, with excellent amenities including a nearby community centre, medical practice, park, and Snodland Train Station just a short walk away. With strong transport links via the M2 and M20, the nursery is both highly accessible and ideally located for families and staff alike.
Inside the building, a large open-plan classroom offers multiple play zones, all fully equipped to promote learning through exploration. Supporting facilities include changing areas, toilet blocks, a private office and a spacious, secure garden that provides ample opportunities for outdoor learning. The premises are bright, modern and meticulously maintained — reflecting the high standards the nursery upholds across every aspect of its operation.
The decision to sell came as a result of the owner’s expanding business commitments elsewhere. While it was not an easy decision to part with such a personal and impactful venture, the new owner inherits a flourishing nursery with excellent foundations and genuine growth potential. There is scope to increase capacity, introduce hot meals or additional services, and continue building upon the outstanding reputation Smallville already enjoys.
Chelsea Melnyk, Sales Negotiator at Abacus Day Nursery Sales, led the process and commented:
“Smallville Nursery is one of those rare businesses that combines strong commercial performance with genuine community value. From the moment we brought this to market, interest was high — and rightfully so.

We were thrilled to find the perfect buyer who shares the passion and values that built Smallville into what it is today.”
