Abacus Day Nursery Sales Facilitates Successful Sale of Children’s Montessori Nursery
Abacus Day Nursery Sales is pleased to announce the successful completion of the lease arrangement for the premises at 33-37 Bond Street, Ipswich, a well-known and long-standing nursery location that has served the community for more than 25 years. Previously operating as a children’s day nursery with an OFSTED rating of “Good” in
, the property was registered for 42 childcare places, demonstrating both its capacity and potential for operators in the early years sector. With the property now available for rent, this marks an outstanding opportunity for a new operator to step into a proven, fully equipped environment in the heart of Ipswich town centre.
The Bond Street premises have an established legacy within the childcare sector, having served families across the region for decades. Parents have long valued its accessible location, warm atmosphere, and commitment to quality care. For an incoming operator, the combination of historical goodwill, practical facilities, and a prime location provides the perfect foundation to establish or expand a nursery business.
The property’s location is one of its key strengths. Set in the very centre of Ipswich, it benefits from excellent visibility and ease of access for families and staff alike. The nearby railway stations and public transport links ensure that the site is convenient for daily drop-offs and collections, while the close proximity to Christchurch Park offers immediate access to a safe, scenic outdoor environment — ideal for enhancing children’s play and learning experiences. This blend of urban accessibility and nearby green space makes the site particularly attractive for a nursery operation.
Inside, the two-storey premises provide a versatile and spacious environment, specifically designed for early years care. Multiple rooms are available to accommodate different age groups, supporting a structured learning and development approach. Kitchen facilities and office spaces are already in place, allowing for seamless integration of both the care and administrative aspects of running a nursery. The building also provides staff facilities to ensure the comfort and efficiency of the team. Lease terms include the option for ten years or more, with a break clause after five years, and rent reviews every five years, allowing flexibility for long-term planning and growth.
An important benefit for new operators is that the premises come fully equipped with all essential fixtures and fittings needed to run a children’s nursery. From safety equipment and purpose-designed furniture to educational resources and play materials, the space is ready for immediate use. This reduces initial capital outlay and ensures the new operator can begin trading quickly, focusing their investment and attention on building relationships with local families rather than extensive setup costs.
Previously, the nursery operated on a year-round basis, providing a dependable service for working parents. The flexibility of the site means that a new operator can tailor opening hours to suit their business model, whether offering full-day sessions, extended hours, or wraparound care.
With over 25 years of continuous childcare service, the Bond Street property has an established presence that will resonate with parents looking for a trusted and familiar setting. The strategic location in Ipswich town centre guarantees a high level of demand for nursery places, making it a rare and valuable find for both established operators and those looking to enter the market.
The property owner chose Abacus Day Nursery Sales for their specialist expertise in the childcare business sector. Unlike general business brokers, Abacus has an in-depth understanding of nursery operations, regulations, and market demand, as well as an extensive database of potential buyers and operators. Their targeted marketing approach ensures that properties are promoted directly to the right audience, saving time and maximising interest. For this sale, Abacus leveraged their sector-specific knowledge to present the Bond Street premises in a way that highlighted its proven track record, strong OFSTED history, and ready-to-operate condition, generating serious interest from potential lessees.
Chelsea Melnyk, Sales Negotiator at Abacus Day Nursery Sales, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the right operator to establish or expand in a thriving town centre location. The Bond Street premises are not only well-equipped and spacious, but they also come with over two decades of history in the community. We were delighted to work with our client to secure a deal that allows the property to continue its legacy in childcare provision. Given the demand for nursery places in Ipswich, we expect the new operator to thrive from day one.”
