Understand local demand

Before investing money and personal commitment, it’s important to check whether there’s a need for a new pre-school or nursery in your area. It’s vital that you understand what you want to offer families and children, how much it will cost to set up and run, what the legal requirements are and how much families are likely to pay.

Find the right premises

Finding suitable premises can be difficult when starting your own childcare business. For further information regarding commercial buildings, contact one of the commercial property agents in the city.

Check planning permission

You should check planning permission before making any commitment to premises.
