The Baby College Franchise Opportunity:
All Baby College classes include lots of singing, dancing and music with Makaton signing, physical play and sensory games.
Franchisees run their own Baby College classes in their own large exclusive territories. After initial comprehensive training, franchisees are responsible for finding and booking venues, teaching classes (from 2 venues a week up to 10 venues a week either as a sole trader or with the help of one or two teachers) and marketing their Baby College Business.
Business admin is made simple as Baby College has an automated online booking and class management system that has been designed especially for their franchisees.
Premium and high-quality programme
Directors Bea Waterfield & Donna Twyford run the franchise from the headquarters in Oxford with the support and knowledge from a large network of collaborating early-years professionals, academics and health professionals in various organisations across the field.
All Baby College topic insights are evidence-based and well-researched and constantly being updated and refreshed with the help of experts.
Recent collaborations include; the Baby Lab at Oxford Brookes University (Language Development), Professor Helen Ball at the Baby Sleep Information Source at Durham University (Sleep Development), and psychologists Professor Lauren Stewart and Dr. Caspar Addyman at Goldsmiths.
Flexible Working
The Baby College class programme is designed around school terms (and there are optional summer holiday classes which can be run too). Franchisees can run classes between 30 to 48 weeks of the year depending on their needs. Classes can be run in the mornings or the afternoons or a mixture and now online too and it fits perfectly with school hours.
