Sunny Smiles Day Nursery in Oldham, Greater Manchester, has been sold to the owner of a Bolton early years setting.

Sunny Smiles is an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ day nursery with space for up to 75 children aged 0-5 years.

Located in Oldham, north west of Greater Manchester, it is in a densely-populated town less than three miles away from its local town centre.

The nursery was established by Pamela Gordon in 2020 who implemented a unique and locally-renowned childcare offering, but she decided to sell the business so she could retire.

Following a confidential sales process with Sofia Beck at Christie & Co, Sunny Smiles has been purchased by Wajahat Baloch of Zahra Day Nursery Ltd, who is the current owner of Zahara Day Nursery in Bolton.

Beck said: “We have experienced yet another busy year of successful transactions and, as it draws to a close, we see no signs of the market slowing down.

“October saw an unprecedented level of day nursery transactions completing and this month we have seen a solid increase in new business instructions and offers accepted.”

Sunny Smiles Day Nursery was sold for an undisclosed price.
