Benefits of Modular Buildings
There is a wide range of benefits to choosing a modular nursery building, including rapid installation, customisation, sustainability and energy efficiency. What’s more, when factoring in modular nursery cost, our prices far outshine what it would cost to choose traditional building methods. They also provide flexibility to relocate or repurpose them as toilets, offices, canteens, changing rooms and more.
Customisable Learning Spaces
Modular nursery buildings can be customised to suit the exact needs of your nursery and the children using it. Flexible layouts offer areas for group activities and focused tasks as well as wet play areas and toilet facilities – whatever you require, we can customise it.

We consider the factors that are important to healthy child development and stimulation in terms of lighting, seating and colour as well as creating a welcoming atmosphere. Sensory environments and non-slip flooring for wet play all create a well-rounded and safe learning environment.
Quick and Easy to Construct
With the majority of construction completed off-site, the total installation time is about 70% quicker than traditional brick-and-mortar building, meaning less disruption to your services, as the whole process can be completed during a holiday period. With quicker timeframes, modular nursery costs are also kept low.

Our Process
Step 01 – Design Phase
We begin by collaborating on the design of your modular nursery building, whether you want a brand-new space or want to customise our existing, refurbished range. We conduct site visits based on the design proposal to check for any access constraints.
Step 02 – Planning and Compliance
Like most construction, modular nursery buildings require planning permission and a building regulation application, typically taking between 8-12 weeks to be approved. We can perform this service on your behalf, or you can make the application yourself.
Step 03 – Groundworks and Manufacturing
To speed up the process, we conduct groundworks onsite in tandem with manufacturing the modular nursery off-site. Groundworks include preparing foundations, mains services, ducting and drainage.
Step 04 – Installation
With all interior and exterior fittings completed, we will deliver and install your modular nursery building with all necessary equipment, performed by our team of expert engineers.
Step 05 – Snagging and Handover
The snagging checks and tasks are completed to your satisfaction, then the building certificates and keys are handed over and your modular nursery building is good to go.
Modular Nursery Buildings FAQs
What are modular nursery buildings?
Modular nursery buildings are prefabricated structures designed specifically for early childhood education. Modular nurseries are built off-site under controlled conditions, meaning they are constructed safely and quickly, and allow users to customise layouts and features. MPB’s modular nursery buildings for sale are a practical way of expanding facilities and meeting growing demands.
What are the different types of modular nursery buildings?
The types of modular nursery buildings can be categorised by how many bays they feature, which is a standardised repeating section, with each typically measuring 3 meters in width. The bays join together to create the structure to house the classroom space and other features tailored to each building. Each bay can be customised to create safe, engaging spaces for young children.
How much does a modular nursery cost?
Modular nursery building prices can vary depending on the size, customisations, layout, finishes and whether you opt for a new or refurbished unit. We can provide an accurate idea of modular nursery cost based on your requirements. Simply get in touch with the MPB team, and we’ll guide you to the most suitable options.
How long does it take to build a custom nursery building?
Depending on the complexity of the design, custom modular nursery buildings typically take between 8-12 weeks to build, but this can fluctuate based on things like site preparation. Thankfully, as the nursery is built off-site, the process is streamlined and delays due to poor weather conditions, for example, are removed.
What options are available for customisation?
Our modular nursery buildings for sale and hire come with plenty of custom options. The layout, interior finishes, safety features, colour schemes, storage options, lighting, climate control, play zones and DDA and SEN features can all be tailored to your preferences. Even when the nursery is installed and in use, further customisation is made easy thanks to the modular design.
Are temporary nursery buildings compliant with safety and building codes?
Temporary, modular nursery buildings from MPB all meet the required standards for fire safety, structural integrity and accessibility. Our nursery buildings also adhere to regulations specific to early childhood facilities, including DDA amenities, child-friendly materials and secure entrances. Explore just how safe modular classrooms are in our blog.
What is the lifespan of a modular nursery building?
The lifespan of a modular building, whether it’s for a nursery or other learning facility, ranges from 25 to 50 years. Of course, several factors will influence the lifespan, including the materials used, maintenance and environmental conditions. With quality construction and proper upkeep, they remain durable, safe and functional for decades, providing a long-term solution for expanding facilities, and an exemplary return on investment.
Can these buildings be expanded or reconfigured in the future?
One of the main benefits of modular construction vs traditional is that additional sections and adjustments to the layout can be made quickly and easily. This adaptability makes modular nurseries a practical choice for educational facilities anticipating future expansions in capacity and function.
Do these buildings address environmental sustainability?
Not only does the off-site construction mean less waste and emissions, the practices and materials used in modular construction support sustainability, thanks to energy-efficient insulation, eco-friendly materials, such as recycled steel, and low-energy lighting systems. Other sustainable features can be included such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems.
What maintenance is required for portable buildings?
Modular nurseries will require routine maintenance to ensure longevity and safety, including roof, window and door inspections, HVAC seasonal servicing and infrequent cleaning of the exterior surfaces when needed.
How do the costs of modular nursery buildings compare to traditional construction?
Modular nursery prices are generally lower than traditional construction thanks to their off-site fabrication. This reduces labour costs and material expenses, and the more efficient assembly minimises overall project costs and downtime caused by adverse weather or other delays.
