Christie Finance secures funding for Little Treasures Day Nursery in Kent

Little Treasures Day Nursery, a term-time only nursery located in Sittingbourne, Kent, has been a trusted part of the local community for over two decades. Catering to children aged two to four, the nursery currently supports 53 children with a full-time equivalent capacity of 40. Operating Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm, the setting offers a safe, stimulating environment designed to spark imagination and creativity.

With a new opportunity to take on the setting, the incoming team is preparing to implement a series of thoughtful changes aimed at enhancing the experience for both children and families.

Kelly, previously the nursery manager, and Charlotte, a long-time staff member, stepped in to purchase Little Treasures when they learned it was being sold. With deep ties to the nursery and its community, they’re committed to a smooth transition for families and children. While they plan to extend hours and introduce a few thoughtful updates, their focus remains on preserving the nurturing environment that’s been trusted for over 20 years.

Kelly and Charlotte at Little Treasures Nursery, comments, “Catherine Cattermole at Christie's Finance is absolutely amazing! When we were purchasing a small business, we felt lost and unsure about the process. Catherine was with us every step of the way, explaining everything clearly and patiently. She was always available by phone or email, and her responses were prompt. Even after her part of the process was complete, she continued to offer support until the very end. We're thrilled that we worked with Christie's Finance, but we're especially grateful to have had Catherine's expertise and care. She's truly gone above and beyond, and we can't recommend her highly enough.”

Cat Cattermole, Finance Consultant at Christie Finance, comments, “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Charlotte and Kelly on the successful acquisition of Little Treasures Nursery. From the outset, they approached the process with dedication, openness, and a genuine trust in my guidance. Their commitment made the journey both smooth and rewarding.

As first-time buyers, Charlotte and Kelly exemplify what makes ideal new owners. Having both worked at the nursery for some time, they bring deep-rooted knowledge of the children, families, and the day-to-day operations. Their hands-on experience and heartfelt connection to the community position them perfectly to lead the nursery into its next chapter. I’m proud to have played a part in this milestone and look forward to seeing Little Treasures flourish under their care.”
