Running and improving
Nursery operations consultancy for owners and operators.
Support with the commercial and operational side of running a nursery.
When the setting is busy but the numbers still feel tight, the answer is rarely one metric. You need a clear view of occupancy, staffing, fees, debt, cash and management performance together.
Visibility before action
Find where performance is really leaking.
A nursery can be full and still feel financially uncomfortable. Staffing may be carrying too much slack, rooms may be unevenly used, fees may not reflect the cost base, or poor debt control may be turning profit into a cash problem.
I help owners get a clearer operating picture, decide what needs attention first and put a practical management rhythm around it.
- Occupancy, capacity and room-level performance
- Staff deployment, labour cost and management structure
- Fees, funding mix, debt and cash visibility
- Budgets, management information and weekly controls
- Leadership accountability and decision-making
- Focused turnaround plans where performance has slipped
What support can look like
Start with the size of the problem.
If the problem feels broad rather than isolated, the Business Health Check is a structured commercial and operational review. It identifies what is working, what is getting in the way and what needs attention first. £795 fixed fee for one nursery setting. Multi-site businesses can ask for a quote.
VAT: any applicable VAT is confirmed before you agree the work.
If you can define one specific issue, the £225 Single-Issue Business Review provides advance information review, a 60-minute remote session and written next actions.

Need a clearer view of performance?
Start with the issue that is taking most of your attention. I can work out whether it needs a focused project or a wider review.
