KC Bespoke | L-shaped nursery & early years accommodation

Prefabricated nursery buildings with two connected wings

Create a larger early years setting with this 198.45m² L-shaped nursery building. Two connected wings provide a starting point for separate activity areas, quiet or rest spaces and shared support rooms, with the internal arrangement developed around the nursery brief and site.

The footprint comprises a 12.60m × 6.30m section and a 9.45m × 12.60m section. Their respective gross external areas are 79.38m² and 119.07m², giving the stated total of 198.45m². These are two adjoining, non-overlapping building sections; the final plan defines their orientation and connecting junction.

The L-shaped arrangement can be planned to separate age groups or activities while coordinating shared toilets, changing facilities, storage, staff space and reception. The internal corner, routes between rooms and outdoor entrances require specific supervision and circulation planning; the shape alone does not guarantee visibility or safeguarding.

This model uses the same supplied technical specification as the KC Bespoke V-Design nursery: an insulated steel frame, Kingspan panel systems, triple glazing with laminated safety glass, SPC flooring, FD30 doorsets, scheduled sanitary finishes and heat-pump heating and cooling. It is a larger fitted building specification, not a shell-and-core offer.

For providers comparing prefabricated nursery buildings, the stated £353,245 + VAT price includes mainland UK delivery and on-site modular assembly. Foundations, final mains connections, outdoor play works and equipment outside the agreed fit-out remain separate.

The visualisation shows a contemporary glazed L-shaped nursery with light cladding and dark frames beside a landscaped outdoor area. It is an illustration of the intended setting, not a measured floor plan or a completed-project reference. Final glazing positions, entrances, roof levels and finishes follow the approved elevations.

Frequently asked questions

What are prefabricated nursery buildings?

Prefabricated nursery buildings are manufactured off site in sections for assembly at the childcare location. This L-shaped model uses the KC Bespoke construction package, with internal rooms and services agreed around the nursery brief.

What size is the L-shaped nursery building?

The building comprises a 12.60m × 6.30m wing and a 9.45m × 12.60m wing. Their gross external areas are 79.38m² and 119.07m², giving a total of 198.45m². The final floor plan defines their orientation, connection and usable internal areas.

Does the 198.45m² area count the connecting corner twice?

No. The stated total is the sum of two separate, non-overlapping rectangular wing areas. The approved plan must retain that measurement basis. The footprint is not the bounding rectangle around the complete L shape, and does not include external paths or play areas.

What is the price of this prefabricated nursery building?

The stated price is £353,245 excluding VAT, or £423,894 including the configured 20% VAT. Mainland UK delivery and on-site modular assembly are included. Groundworks, final mains connections, external works and equipment outside the agreed fit-out are separate.

Is the specification the same as the V-Design nursery?

Yes. This larger model uses the same supplied KC Bespoke material and fit-out specification as the V-Design nursery, including the 160mm roof assembly, 100mm partition panels, triple-glazed laminated windows, SPC flooring, sanitary finishes and heat pump. The L-shaped floor plan, structural connections, opening quantities and service capacities are designed separately.

Why choose an L-shaped nursery building?

Two connected wings provide a basis for separating activities or age groups while coordinating shared support facilities. The shape also offers different relationships to the site and outdoor areas. Those opportunities must be tested against supervision, circulation, usable area and the final nursery plan.

How many children can this nursery accommodate?

No fixed capacity is stated. Use the approved activity-room areas, not 198.45m² gross area. England's EYFS references 3.5m² per child under two, 2.5m² for two-year-olds and 2.3m² for ages three to five; staffing and provider requirements also apply. Check the applicable EYFS framework.

Can outdoor play space increase the indoor child-place calculation?

Not for the cited England EYFS space rules applying where indoor activity is the main or an integral part of provision. Exclusively outdoor provision is treated separately. Do not add playground area to the building footprint when assessing indoor capacity.

Can the two wings serve different age groups?

The floor plan can be developed around different age groups or activities, with suitable support rooms and supervised connections. The product does not prescribe two classrooms, separate departments or a fixed number of activity rooms.

Is this a fitted nursery specification or shell and core?

This is the fitted KC Bespoke specification, not the earlier shell-and-core pavilion offers. It includes internal partition panels, SPC flooring, scheduled doors and glazing, sanitary-area fittings and finishes, and heat-pump heating and cooling. The detailed room, electrical, lighting, ventilation, hot-water and alarm schedules must still be agreed.

Can toilets, changing, storage and staff space be included in the layout?

These requirements are developed within the approved room and sanitary schedules. Confirm the necessary child and adult facilities, handwashing, rest spaces and any food-preparation provision before setting the number of places. No kitchen appliance or loose furniture package is automatically included.

Are the windows triple glazed with laminated safety glass?

Yes. The retained specification calls for UPVC windows with triple glazing and laminated safety glass, with a specified window U-value of 0.9 W/m²K. Exact opening dimensions, quantities, restrictors and other safety details follow the approved schedule.

How are heating, cooling and ventilation specified?

Air-to-air heat-pump heating and cooling is included, with specified SCOP 4.5. Capacity, indoor units and zoning must suit the larger layout. Fresh-air ventilation, wet-area extraction, glare control and acoustics require separate design checks; no fixed equipment count is copied from the smaller nursery.

Are delivery and assembly included in the price?

Yes. Mainland UK delivery and on-site modular assembly are included in the stated £353,245 + VAT price. Confirm access, the lifting plan and foundation readiness before delivery. Groundworks, final mains connections and unspecified external works remain separate.

Are these modular nursery buildings for sale or hire?

This listing is for purchasing the stated L-shaped nursery building. No rental price, hire period or finance arrangement is offered by this configuration.

Do prefabricated nursery buildings need planning and Building Regulations approval?

Check both approval routes for the site, proposed use and location before ordering. Off-site manufacture does not itself provide an exemption. Consult government Building Regulations approval guidance and obtain advice for the relevant jurisdiction.

Is this nursery automatically Ofsted approved or A-rated?

No. Purchasing the building does not grant childcare registration or an inspection outcome. An optional A energy rating requires assessment of the final design. The applicable Part L requirements and any EPC must be confirmed for the actual project.

Do the supplied wall ratings certify the complete L-shaped nursery?

No. The supplied B-s2,d0 reaction-to-fire reference and EW 45 / EI 30 panel fire-resistance references depend on the selected system and its test conditions. The final fire strategy must address both wings, connections, escape, penetrations, doors and alarms. No whole-building REI60 rating is claimed.

How long will manufacture and installation take?

The programme is confirmed after the layout, specification, approvals and site review. The larger L-shaped building has its own manufacturing, transport and assembly plan; no lead time from another model is automatically applied.

Can work be carried out next to an operating nursery?

A live-site installation requires a plan for works segregation, safe vehicle access, delivery timing and the nursery operation. Factory manufacture reduces the work brought to site but does not remove the need to plan construction activities with the provider.

Are other cladding finishes available?

The listed standard steel cladding and flashing colours are included. Wood effects, brick slips and decorative-stone systems remain separately priced upgrades, just as in the V-Design nursery specification. Final exterior-rated products and coverage are agreed before manufacture.

Does the supplied image show everything included in the price?

No. It is an illustrative nursery setting, not a confirmed completed-project record or an equipment inventory. Furniture, toys, educational resources, fencing, planting, paths and playground items are not included unless expressly listed. The image does not establish room sizes, clear heights or door quantities.

Where can I see other nursery models or download the catalogue?

View the smaller V-Design nursery or download the KC Bespoke Collection catalogue (PDF). The price, two-wing arrangement and approved schedule on this listing apply specifically to the 198.45m² L-shaped model.
