Childcare Centre Due Diligence

Effective due diligence goes beyond the financials. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of every aspect of a childcare business, including regulatory compliance, governance, operational systems, occupancy, workforce, policies, quality performance and commercial viability, so you understand exactly what you are acquiring.

Our independent advice helps you identify risks before settlement, validate opportunities, support negotiations and develop a clear strategy for a smooth transition and long-term success.

  • Comprehensive review of regulatory compliance and Assessment & Rating history
  • Review of Provider Approval, Service Approval, licence conditions, waivers and regulatory notices
  • Assessment of occupancy, enrolment trends, utilisation and future growth opportunities
  • Evaluation of workforce structure, leadership capability, staffing compliance and retention

  • Identification of regulatory, operational, commercial and reputational risks
