Day Nursery & Play Centre, Stanningley, West Yorkshire

CHILDREN’S PLAY CAFE in Leeds for Sale.

Ernest Wilson is delighted to present to the market this beautifully maintained and highly regarded children’s soft play centre, purpose designed for the under fives age group. Established by our clients in 2018 to fit around their own young family, the business has flourished over the years and is now offered for sale as their children have reached school age and the owners are ready to focus on other ventures. The business enjoys a loyal customer base and strong reputation, including over 1,500 registered subscribers and more than 13,000 social media followers, ensuring excellent visibility and ongoing free marketing.

Generating an annual turnover of approximately £100,000, with clear and achievable opportunities to increase income further. There is an opportunity to offer takeaway services to neighbouring businesses

The centre operates sensible, family friendly hours across seven days a week and is largely staff run, making it an ideal opportunity for a more hands on owner operator to step in, reduce staffing costs and increase overall profitability. Sessions are run on a pre booked basis with a professional user-friendly website and streamlined online booking system and payment platform, enabling efficient staff planning and controlled visitor numbers, alongside private weekend party bookings which further enhance revenue.

This play cafe is perfectly suited to someone passionate about working with children - particularly parents seeking flexible working hours around their own family life. With an experienced team already in place, it is an easy business to take over and operate.

The premises will be offered on a secure lease with terms negotiable through our office. Occupying two adjoining units within a modern business park in a well populated area of Leeds, this is a prime and accessible location. The business benefits from a large free car park for customers

The layout comprises a welcoming reception area with dedicated pram and buggy parking, leading into the main soft play room purpose built for children aged 0–5, broken in to two dedicated play rooms to enable a calm, age appropriate experience for both babies and toddlers. One of the rooms features a charming “parade of shops” and themed role play area. A second room is designed specifically for babies and younger toddlers and is equipped with soft play, sensory items and age appropriate activities. Additional facilities include a kitchen and food preparation area, pot wash section, customer WCs and baby-changing provision.
