Eco friendly children's role play centre for sale in Burnham on Crouch

Fabulous opportunity to acquire a turn key fledgling eco-friendly chidldren’s role-play centre business and make it your own.

Due to a change in family circumstances, the founder will be moving from Essex to a new county and therefore, this business is up for sale.

Based in a beautiful building in a prime High Street location in picturesque Burnham on Crouch, this turnkey business would be ideal for a parent, grandparent, or anyone wishing to work school hours and is currently run as a stay and play role play village and birthday venue for ages walking to 7.

The business opened in October 2023 on a mobile basis and moved to it’s new premises in February 2024.

It’s currently being run on a sessional part time basis.  We feel that with the addition of weekend opening, parties & events, food, after school clubs, holiday childcare or childcare provision, Christmas & seasonal themed events and continued advertising further afield, the business has great potential to grow.

The business has a 5* food safety hygiene rating and regularly receives great reviews, with repeat customers, and people travelling from as far as Southend, Chelmsford and Witham to come and visit.

There are currently 11 play areas for children to choose from, which are rotated weekly. The toys, which were all purchased new in recent months, are almost entirely eco-friendly.

The local area of Burnham on Crouch and surrounding villages has had an influx of new builds and families in recent years, and there is a shortage of childcare & things to do with children locally.  Therefore this business could also have huge potential to be run as a boutique nursery or childcare setting.  The current lease would support the changeover.

The business comes with:

All stock, to include all eco-friendly toys, furniture, fixtures and fittings.

Relationships with all suppliers.

A fully functioning & branded website, complete with its own booking system and customer database.

Both active social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram).

All the branding, graphics and branded marketing material.

Full handover, including technical tutoring for the website and booking system from present owner.

The lease is incredibly reasonable for the area - it has a break clause set for mid-February 2025, and is on a 3 year lease (from February 2024), with a 3 month notice period set for the remaining two years.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get in early with a business that has great potential in a prime position on Burnham High Street.  

With lots of free parking nearby and a big increase in homes being built in the local area, there’s a good demand for things to do with children locally.
