Research & data driven
We provide detailed trade area, economics and demographic analysis in house via our proprietary models.
Our in-house proprietary models analyse every existing and DA lodged (Long Day Care Centres) which are analysed, geo-coded and overlaid with 18 proprietary childcare specific catchment area layers such as demand: supply ratios, depth of 0-5 year old children, worker population, dual working parents, number of new Development Applications, average household income levels and estimated resident population statistics.
Freehold investment activity is expected to significantly increase over 2025. The cost of capital constraints witnessed over the past 24 months are slowly abating and investor confidence is rising accordingly.The childcare asset class itself has proven to be a robust investment and has been re-classifed as an institutional grade asset due to a number of factors such as bi-partisan Government funding support, robust demand from 0-5 year old population growth, the signifcant rise in dual working parents with dependant children, increased female workforce participation and most importantly higher usage by families who now undertand the importance of educating 0-5 year old children in order to prepare them for formal schooing.
