Nursery Consultancy.

We are passionate about independent prep schools achieving much needed growth.

Our extensive research shows that one of the key opportunities for growth is to open or extend your Early Years provision with a Nursery and offer the provision that working parents desperately need and currently can only find at independent day care nurseries.

To help you capitalise on this section of the market and increase the admissions funnel into your prep school we have set up a specialist Nursery advisory service.

  • "This was a very professional presentation that also felt personal - not a common combination in my webinar experience!"

  • "The session was excellent at introducing the idea and some of the key considerations of developing the site to include a nursery which we have already been discussing."

  • "Thank you so much for the report, it was very insightful and I have been busy over the past week working on it, digesting everything and discussing an action plan with SLT. I appreciate all the hard work that went into it."

  • "Very well-structured session, and I found the examples given and experiences shared by the speakers really helpful - practical questions and ways to look at the provision."

  • "It was a useful opportunity to reflect on why our nursery is important to school recruitment and remind us to continuously review what it is that our parent want from the setting."
