Savills plc's analysis reveals that leasehold models are driving rapid growth in the UK nursery sector, with 71% of nurseries using this structure. High property values in London and the South East make freehold acquisitions less viable, leading to a 47% rent surge over five years. Leasehold structures free up capital, supporting expansion despite market challenges. The report highlights geographic concentration and increased demand due to expanded childcare funding.
