The nursery was sold after the previous owners, who established the business in 2003, decided to pursue other interests.
The Sandpit Nursery is located within walking distance of Barnsley town centre. It has capacity for 88 children from birth to five years.
The site is an adapted and extended church building and includes purpose-built accommodation and fully enclosed outdoor play areas.

Jonathan Wickens, director at Christie & Co, who brokered the sale said, ‘We are pleased to see a regional operator expanding in the Yorkshire area and wish 1st Safari every success in their new venture.’
