Angela Mehegan, who owns Cheeky Monkees Nursery in Redcar, Teesside, heard that the nursery she went to as a child in Stockton, Cleveland, was up for sale by Just Learning.
Weak demand for places was cited by Just Learning as the reason it closed the nursery earlier this year.
Ms Mehegan said, 'I was looking in the local paper and saw an article about the closure of the nursery. My husband called Just Learning and was told that they were planning to sell the building and there was a high chance it would be developed into flats.
'The nursery meant so much to me as a child, and also we are always on the look-out for more nurseries.'
