The Cosy Cottage Nursery School in Edinburgh has been sold by qualified teacher Amanda Edwards.
The children's day nursery, which selling agent Christie & Co noted had effective operating capacity for up to 35 children up to five years old, is in the east of Edinburgh, off Willowbrae Road and Portobello Road and next to Royal High Primary School.
Ms Edwards decided to sell to free up more time to spend with her family.
The business has been purchased by Julie McMorrine, who Christie & Co noted was an existing Edinburgh-based nursery operator "working on expanding her portfolio".
Rosie Adlem, director at Christie & Co, said: “We were delighted to be able to secure a sale for Amanda and allow her to move on to her next chapter. After developing such a good reputation for the nursery and establishing a great staffing team, we have no doubts that Julie will continue to nurture and grow the business further.”
The sale price was not disclosed.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
