Owning a crèche comes with a lot of moving parts. You’re dealing with staff, managing parent expectations, keeping up with changing rules, all while making sure the children are safe, happy, and well cared for. That kind of day leaves very little time for anything else.
Your own finances? They’re easy to put off. Many crèche owners are so focused on keeping everything running smoothly for the families they serve that their long-term financial plans get pushed to the side.
But building something sustainable, something that supports you as well as your business is just as important.
Why Wealth Management Matters
For many crèche owners, money goes into the business, and that’s where it stays. Personal financial planning; pensions, savings, long-term goals, often gets left hanging. Not deliberately. It just never feels urgent enough.
But without a plan in place, it’s hard to know if what you’re earning is actually getting you anywhere beyond the next few months.
Wealth management helps with that. Not by adding more to your plate, but by giving your personal finances a bit of structure, something that runs quietly alongside the business, built around the life you want outside of it.
Support often includes:
- Clarifying the split between personal and business finances
- Creating a sustainable pension plan
- Making tax-efficient investment decisions
- Preparing for sale, succession, or future transitions
- Ensuring your income and family are protected if something unexpected happens
It’s not about changing how you work, it’s about making sure your work supports your personal goals, both now and years from now.
Who We Support
We’ve advised:
- Crèche owners operating a single location
- Those expanding into multiple sites
- Managers preparing to take over family-run childcare businesses
- Owners thinking ahead to retirement, sale, or step-down
Some are well-organised and just want a second set of eyes. Others have let it slide for years and are finally ready to get things sorted. Wherever you stand, we help create a financial setup that works in the background, without dragging you into admin overload.
What Wealth Planning Looks Like in Practice
People don’t always come in with a clear plan. Some aren’t sure what they need, they just know things feel unorganised. It might be a pension they’ve ignored, money sitting in the wrong place, or no real idea what’s enough for later. The goal’s usually the same though: figure out what’s going on, and stop guessing.
That could include:
- Reviewing cash flow from the business
- Understanding the best way to take income
- Making use of pension allowances
- Putting a plan in place for the future , even if the exit is still years away
Our job is to simplify the options, show what’s possible, and guide the process without adding more to your already full plate.
