We specialise in the sale of leasehold and freehold childcare centres, connecting buyers and sellers through a smooth, transparent process that maximises value for the vendor.
We place the right operator in your centre — not just a tenant — matching qualified childcare operators to new, vacant or transitioning premises, so your centre fills, performs, and protects your income for the life of the lease. We can even secure an operator before your centre is built.
We help you buy, sell, lease and manage childcare properties as long-term assets — balancing strong sale and leasing outcomes with specialist ongoing management that safeguards your recurring income.
From site feasibility and planning approvals through to operator training and growth strategy, we guide landowners, developers and operators across the full childcare lifecycle.
We specialise in the sale of leasehold and freehold childcare businesses across Australia, connecting quality centres with serious buyers — drawn from our own network and database of childcare operators and investors — through a structured, confidential process.
Our team manages every stage of the transaction — from initial appraisal and preparing the Information Memorandum, through to buyer qualification, negotiations, and settlement coordination. We understand the unique factors that drive childcare business value, including occupancy trends, CCS eligibility, regulatory standing, lease terms, and staffing stability.
Whether you’re looking to sell your centre, acquire an existing operation, or explore your options, we provide honest, market-informed advice tailored to your situation.
We place qualified childcare operators into new, vacant, or transitioning centres — going beyond finding a tenant to securing the right operator to run your centre well for the long term.
A childcare lease is a long-term commitment — usually 10–20 years, sometimes up to 30 years — so your return ultimately depends on the operator filling the centre and trading successfully. We draw on a dedicated network of childcare operators, from established multi-centre groups to first-time approved providers, and match the operator best suited to your premises, your lease terms, and your local market.
Where a centre is new or vacant, we help the incoming operator open and trade sooner — shortening your path to a stable, performing tenancy and protecting the long-term value of your asset. And for centres still under development, we can secure an operator pre-commitment as early as the DA stage — much like an off-the-plan sale — so your centre opens with a tenant in place rather than sitting vacant.
We help landlords and investors buy, sell, lease, and manage childcare properties as long-term assets, with the specialist insight that general commercial real estate agents simply don’t have.
On the transaction side, the childcare property market operates differently from standard commercial real estate. Lease structures, tenant quality, regulatory requirements, and sector-specific risks all require deep industry knowledge — so whether you’re selling a freehold investment or leasing a centre, we draw on our network of childcare operators and investors to secure strong tenants and competitive returns, while avoiding the costly missteps that often catch out generalist agents.
Just as importantly, we manage childcare tenancies for the long term. A well-run childcare lease is a low-churn, high-value asset, so our ongoing management protects that income across its full life — rent reviews, renewals, outgoings reconciliation, compliance oversight, and tenant liaison. For owners building a portfolio, this is where lasting value compounds.
We guide landowners, developers and operators across the full childcare lifecycle — from initial site assessment and feasibility through to DA approval, construction oversight, and successful operation.
Developing a childcare centre is not the same as developing a standard commercial property — council requirements, NQF standards, outdoor play-space ratios and operator demand all need to be factored in from day one. For landowners exploring their options, our advisory evaluates whether a childcare use is feasible, what returns to expect, and the steps required to get there.
We also work alongside operators, franchise groups, and aspiring centre owners to build stronger businesses, enter new markets, and develop the skills to operate with confidence. As co-founders of a childcare brand ourselves, we bring practical perspective on staffing, compliance, occupancy building and parent expectations.
Securing an operator to pre-commit to a development or take over a centre is handled through our Childcare Operator Placement service.
