I want to open my own nursery but dont know which route to take what my steps would be how much money i would need any suggestions?

Hiya

Dont buy one

In the next five years or more all nursery will have gone due to the goverment spending and getting rid of the private nursery around england.

If you want to buy a nurserytry www.christie.com or look in nursery world.
You can least hold one which is cheaper if you dont have a lot of money

Do yourself a big favour and avoid buying a nursery

wow, how negative!

My experience of owning a nursery has been very positive. Check back through this forum and look at previous similar posts. There is lots of information on here if you take time to search through the topics. Good luck to you. x

Hi
I opened my pre-school five years ago with my business partner.I is definately not fot the faint hearted but it is very fullfilling and I would do nothing else. Indeed I love it so much I have even worked for the love of the job, totally without pay when we stared up and things were tight. If it`s what u want to do go for it!

Owning a nursery is satisfying, fullfilling, and I really enjoy it.

However, you will earn no money in the first couple of years and unless you own multiple nurseries you won't be buying a shiny mercedees.

If you go into it with your eyes wide open, then you will love it. If you go into it for the money, then forget it.

Hi,

Opening a nursery is a great idea as there will always be a need for private childcare.  Try taking a course which will give you all the skills you need, including business and marketing.

Hi,

Reading all the previous posts has helped me out alot... There was one thing that was on my mind and i got told.

Is it posible to run a nursery with a NNEB?? 

Im currently doing the Foundation course to Early Childhood Studies. Is that enough for me to run a Nursery? 

by: shah_rani

hi to open a nursery or become a manager you have to have at lease a level 3 certificate, in childcare....

im hoping to complete my course and open a private nursery.

by: newsetting

no you dont. You dont have to have any qualifications to open a nursery. You just need to employ a manager who does, if you dont have any

I am a qualified primary school teacher, is this enough qualification to run a nursery or would I need to do an NNEB course?

by: whmon

Your QTS is enough Lou, but you also need 2 years experience of nursery work. You can get a manager in for the initial 2 years and run it via him/her.

Thanks for that whmon- my friend and I are looking into openign a nursery in our area as there isn't a lot around, and needed to know whether I needed to do further qualifications.
