What is the Tots Play Franchise Programme?

The Award Winning Tots Play franchise programme offers the opportunity to use our proven business model and systems to run your own Tots Play business in your local area at times that suit you. It has been carefully designed with the following aims in mind:

• For it to be flexible – It is designed so that it can work for you whether you want to run just a couple of classes a week around your little ones or to top up the family finances, or build it into a bigger business bringing in a full-time income. It can also grow and change as your family and circumstances do.
• For it to be affordable – This is a business designed to suit both your lifestyle and your budget, a complete business for much less than you might think.
• For it to reward the effort you put into it – A low flat rate monthly franchise fee means that the more you earn, the more you get to keep. We do not take a percentage of your profits.
• For it to be easy to operate – I don’t believe that business needs to be complicated. We provide step-by-step training to help you feel confident in running Tots Play sessions and to get your business up and running. We then help you to set up simple systems to ensure your business continues to run smoothly.
• For it to be fun! – Well it is in the job description to play all day!

Joining a franchise means that although you are in business for yourself, you are never by yourself, as full training and ongoing support are all part of the package.

Who are we looking for?

When choosing our franchisees we are looking for people who not only share our commitment to providing the best possible experience for the families who attend our sessions but also have the enthusiasm and drive to share that passion with families in their area, and a willingness to work hard to achieve their goals. The personal qualities you bring are therefore far more important than experience running a business or working with children.

While you therefore don’t need to have any specific qualifications or experience to run Tots Play classes, you must enjoy working with young children and their parents, and be able to make them feel welcome and at ease.

You will also need plenty of energy and enthusiasm to get everyone involved, and the confidence to lead a group in various play activities including singing simple songs. Good organisational skills are also important as a small amount of administration will be required, as is the determination and resilience to build and run a business, with all that it entails.

You will receive full training on how to run the business, with personal coaching, practical training, written and online training manual plus ongoing help and support to establish and grow your business.
