CAN A NURSERY / DAY CARE CENTER / PRESCHOOL BE ESTABLISHED IN THIS BUILDING? IF NOT, WHY NOT? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE IT SUITABLE?

One of the most common mistakes in nursery and preschool investments is encountering regulatory obstacles only after the building has already been leased or purchased.

Facilities serving children are subject to particularly detailed requirements regarding the building, outdoor areas, floor layout, safety, accessibility, and surrounding environmental conditions.

Many projects are forced into months of revisions—or are rejected altogether—because the wrong building was selected at the outset.

İrel Consultancy’s Building Suitability Assessment provides a realistic evaluation of your building and proposed project based on the applicable regulations for nurseries, day care centers and children’s clubs, as well as accessibility, fire safety, zoning, and environmental safety requirements.

This assessment does not rely on assumptions. It provides clarity.

🔍 WHAT DOES THIS ASSESSMENT PROVIDE?

As part of this service:

• The building is assessed for child-focused physical standards, floor layout, and safety requirements.
• Outdoor space requirements, garden suitability, and environmental risks are evaluated.
• Child-safety-related technical details such as stairs, railings, windows, flooring, and door widths are reviewed.
• Capacity calculations are carried out to determine how many children the facility can accommodate and, where applicable, why the proposed capacity may not be suitable.
• Criteria that most frequently lead to rejection during inspections are specifically analyzed.
• Potential inconsistencies between zoning authorities, the Ministry of National Education, fire authorities, and the Ministry of Family and Social Services are identified.
• You receive a clear, written answer to the question: “Can a Nursery / Day Care Center / Preschool be established in this building?”
• At the end of the assessment, you receive a concise, clear, and practical evaluation report.

⚠️ WHY IS THIS ASSESSMENT SO IMPORTANT?

Some of the most common problems in facilities serving children include:

• Buildings with no garden or insufficient outdoor space
• Unsuitable floor layouts, such as upper-floor use or narrow stairways
• Architectural details that do not meet child safety requirements
• Environmental risks such as heavy traffic, industrial surroundings, or excessive noise

These issues may result in rejection of the application or substantial renovation requirements.

A Building Suitability Assessment helps protect you from:

• Investing in the wrong building
• Unexpected renovation costs during the licensing process
• Long, costly, and stressful application procedures
• 👤 WHO IS THIS SERVICE FOR?

This service is particularly suitable for:

• Investors planning to establish a Nursery, Day Care Center, or Preschool
• Those who want to make an informed decision before leasing or purchasing a building
• Applicants already in the licensing process who are unable to make progress
• Those whose previous applications have been rejected

🏛️ WHY IS İREL CONSULTANCY DIFFERENT?

This assessment is not carried out simply by reading the regulations.

It is conducted with an understanding of how child safety and facility compliance are actually evaluated during inspections.

İrel Consultancy focuses not only on:

“What should be written in the project?”

but, more importantly:

“What will inspectors actually look for?”

For this reason, we do not describe every building as suitable.

Where a building is unsuitable, we clearly state that “a Nursery / Preschool cannot be established in this building”, or explain precisely under what conditions it may become suitable.
