Busy Bees Centre management agreement extended
16 January 2025
Nido Education Limited (ASX:NDO) (Nido) is pleased to announce that it has (through a group
entity, Nest Management Pty Ltd (Nest)) executed an agreement to further extend the term of
the management agreement with Busy Bees Operations Pty Ltd (Busy Bees), extending the
end date from 30 June 2025 to 30 June 2026.
Busy Bees and Nido have worked closely together since October 2021 when Nido began
managing the 34 Busy Bees owned Nido Centres. In order to ensure continuity of operations,
the parties have agreed that extending the management to 30 June 2026, will allow for a
smoother transition for families and Educators.
Nido currently owns 56 Centres and manages a further 46 Centres, incorporating the 12
Centres in incubation which Nido has the option to acquire as they trade-up. Nido’s incubation
partner is expected to open a further 24 Centres by the time Nido hands over the
management of the Busy Bees 34 Centres. Nido will receive gross fees of $3.4mil in the 2025
calendar year, $100K per Centre, helping Nido to defray some of the Head Office costs whilst it
scales up its operations through opening the Centres for our incubator partner and acquiring
traded-up Centres.
As outlined in the Company’s Prospectus dated 20 September 2023 (Prospectus), Nest has a
Centre Management Agreement (CMA) in place with Busy Bees. Details of the terms of the
CMA are available in section 9.4.5 of the Prospectus.
