In their words

What clients say aboutworking with us

First-hand accounts from childcare owners and operators who have engaged Childcare4Sale through sale, lease, valuation and negotiation processes.


Andrew is an absolute gentleman. We've used him in the past to lease out a childcare property we owe and he did a brilliant job. We're currently investigating whether we want to purchase a childcare business, we called Andrew to get his opinion and he offered is time freely to us. He coached us through what to expect, what to ask for, the watch outs and sent us all the relevant questions to ask and information to request to ensure our decision is sound. What a gem! Thank you Andrew for your kindness.


I recently had the pleasure of working with Lincoln at Childcare4Sale during the acquisition of an early learning service, and I could not recommend them more highly. Lincoln's knowledge of the early childhood education and care sector is exceptional. Throughout the process, he was professional, responsive, transparent, and genuinely committed to achieving a positive outcome for all parties involved. What stood out most was Lincoln's integrity and his commitment to building long-term relationships rather than simply completing a transaction. He took the time to understand our goals, provided valuable advice, and remained available whenever support was needed. If you are considering buying, selling, or seeking advice regarding an early learning service, I would highly recommend Lincoln at Childcare4Sale.


My wife and I have been in business for 40 years and for the last 30 years Lincoln from Childcare4sale has been an enormous help to both us and our business partners in buying and selling numerous Child Care businesses. We highly value his consummate knowledge of the Child Care industry which we have repeatedly relied on over many years. Lincoln's Child Care sector expertise combined with his trustworthiness, integrity and impeccable market insights have been essential in guiding us through some very challenging transactions. We highly recommend Lincoln and Childcare4sale to anyone seeking an experienced reputable commercial real estate agent.


Lincoln has been an extremely valuable part of the whole process from consideration of selling right though to the completion of sale. His attention to detail & his understanding of the industry and business is what sets him apart. I cant thank him enough and would recommend Lincoln to anyone looking at selling. This is a guy who really knows his stuff.


I have known Lincoln for nearly 20 years and dealt with him as a vendor and buyer. Our recent purchase with Lincoln wasn't without challenges, but he worked through them with us to ensure the transaction completed. Very happy with support and service. We will continue to do business with him.


We would highly recommend Lincoln to anyone interested in selling or buying within the child care industry. Lincoln was recommended to us by multiple trusted professionals within the field and we can surely see why. We now join that band of people who would highly recommend Lincoln and Childcare4sale as the best place to trust the sale of your child care business. We have worked closely with Lincoln over the past 3 years to downsize our portfolio and plan an exit from the industry. Lincoln is a no nonsense, tell it like it is, professional whose knowledge of the industry, market conditions and the intricacies involved in selling within this industry is second to none. We would not trust our businesses to anyone else. Lincoln has always provided us with timely and accurate advice, has assisted in navigating some really difficult market conditions (the least of which keeping a sale alive during the height of covid), has assisted us with difficult negotiations and has provided us with the tools required to make a smooth transition out of the industry. Lincoln not only provides accurate price assessments but also works tirelessly to ensure that the price achieved reflects the true value of a business and its position within the market. Lincoln is also incredibly knowledgeable on the day to day operational, licensing and other regulatory requirements of the child care industry and this places him in a prime position to be able to anticipate and deal with any potential issues in an efficient and effective manner. He was always able to present sensible solutions to any problems which arose during the process of the sale of our businesses. If we were to ever return to the industry, there is only one person we would call to make that happen, and that person would be Lincoln. Rebecca and Andrew Dickinson


Lincoln came highly recommended from a top childcare valuer in Sydney. From the onset he knew his numbers, he didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, however his assessment was spot on and he worked hard and maximised our value to an above market outcome. Our sale was too a corporate buyer, the process was extremely challenging and at times outright frustrating, at all times throughout the process I had comfort that Lincoln was in our corner. Lincoln offered excellent advice when a licensing issue popped up during the sale. Lincoln is not just a childcare specialist sales person and expert negotiator; he also has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the childcare industry and operations. Without hesitation I would recommend Lincoln's services. He is highly ethical, efficient, and great to deal with.


Dear Lincoln and your whole group, thank you for all your trouble free assistance. Originally we listing with another agent, who couldn’t achieve an outcome in 9 months. We engaged you from a referral and received several offers in the first week with you representing us. We are delighted with the price achieved. Whatever you said, was fulfilled. Any queries I had, were promptly answered. I will certainly have no hesitation in recommending your firm. A big thank you, once again.


Our Child Care Centre at Kippa Ring was seeking a high calibre operator who is substantially capitalised and who also has a sound track record. Lincoln Bridge was engaged by Cresentmoon Pty Ltd to introduce a suitable tenant for the Centre in June 2018 and a new lease was finalised early September 2018. Lincoln was at all times professional and diligent responding quickly to any queries we had on the operator, their background and intentions for the centre. Lincoln has a sound knowledge of the current legislations, operations and comparable data for child care businesses throughout Australia and we would not hesitate to recommend and or appoint him on future requirements for our company.


Andrew is a highly professional and committed sales agent in the childcare industry. From the beginning of the sales process through to settlement he was in constant contact with everyone involved, ensuring we were aware of what was happening and what was required of us every step of the way. Andrew gave us sound advice in relation to preparing the business for sale, identifying areas that could be improved, that ultimately helped us achieve a higher sales price. His general market knowledge, ability to negotiate and liaise with all parties gave us the confidence to make the decision to sell when the right buyer came along. I would, gladly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their centre.


Andrew Urquart is a salesman extraordinaire and I cannot speak too highly of his professionalism and expertise. Super impressed with his quiet confidence, his knowledge of the market and industry, and his ability to interact and communicate with all stakeholders. Andrew is extremely honest, was always patient in answering my many questions. Above alI, I found him to be extremely motivated and always willing to put in that extra effort needed, to secure the right sale price. Driven by accomplishing premium sale price and closing the deal, Andrew consistently satisfied our needs throughout the entire sale process. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
