Sectors we work in

Children’s Activity Franchising

Franchise your children’s business properly, or grow the network you have, with people who know this sector from the inside.

Parents trust you with their children, and that trust is your brand. A children’s franchise has to keep it in every class and every territory, with safeguarding built in from the start. That is what we build with you.

How we help

Wherever your business is now.

Franchising for the first time

We look at your model, your systems and your safeguarding, then build the franchise with you: the numbers, the operations manual, the agreements, and the recruitment that finds your first franchisees.

Growing a children’s network

We find, follow up and qualify franchisees who care about children’s development and can run a business, so you spend your time with the right people. Every candidate runs through Familia IQ, our recruitment system, and we only get paid when you sign a franchisee.

Children’s businesses we work with

From the first class to the fiftieth territory, each needs the same care over standards.

Our franchise consultants work across eight service sectors, so what works in one often helps another.

  • Early years and education. Nurseries, pre-schools, tutoring centres and language schools.
  • Sport and physical activity. Gymnastics, swimming, sports coaching and fitness programmes for children.
  • Creative arts. Music, drama, art and performing arts classes.
  • STEM and technology. Coding clubs, robotics and science workshops.
  • Health and wellbeing. Children’s yoga, mindfulness and nutrition programmes.

A sector we know from the inside.

Our own franchise network worked with families, so we have recruited franchisees, run safeguarding and kept standards high across a growing network in this sector ourselves. Children’s businesses franchise well: parents choose on quality, families come back term after term, and the work draws franchisees who care about more than the money. Often they are former teachers, coaches and childcare professionals.

Questions children’s businesses ask

Is franchising right for my children’s business?

It can be, if you have been trading well with documented systems and consistent results, and the numbers work for a franchisee as well as for you. We look at that honestly. If you already franchise and recruitment has slowed, we can help with that too.

How do you find the right franchisees for a children’s business?

We look for people who care about children’s development and can also run a business, often former teachers, coaches or childcare professionals. Our campaigns lead with your values and the support you give, and we qualify every candidate before they reach you.

What support do children’s franchisees need?

Ongoing safeguarding training, help with parent communication, updates on DBS checks, insurance and regulation, and local marketing that stays on brand. We help you set up support that keeps working as the network grows.

How do you handle safeguarding?

We write your safeguarding processes into the operations manual and give franchisees the policies, training and checklists they need. If you are new to franchising, we help you document what you already do. If you have a network, we help you strengthen it as you grow.

How long does it take to recruit children’s franchisees?

Good leads can come within weeks of a campaign starting. From first enquiry to signed agreement usually takes a few months, because candidates need time to understand the market, the safeguarding responsibilities and your brand. We manage that process for you.
