A CREATIVE
FRANCHISE COMMUNITY
Our story
Established in 2004, we are the UK’s longest-running children’s
yoga company.
We offer a unique multi-sensory and creative yoga-inspired children's activity class for children aged 0-11 across 3 programmes.
As a franchisee you will receive everything you need to run sessions within your own geographical territory, using self-employed teachers to really scale your business & establish true freedom - earning whilst you are not even there!
Baby Bumpkin 0-2 years
Tatty Bumpkin 3-7 years
Tatty Guroo 8-11 years.
Each programme has full supporting documentation aimed at
CHILDREN
PARENTS
EDUCATORS
which means our sessions can be run specifically as parent/child, or in educational settings.
We love creativity, & we love to create, so there is a lot of emphasis on the quality of the programme materials.
In 2008 we moved to franchising to become more of a community - a group of like-minded (women, although it doesn't have to be!) who want to work for themselves but not by themselves.
How it works
True collaboration
It really is simple.
1. Find out if your area is available
2. Research the opportunity with us by your side
3. Make the decision to invest in your future
4. Receive all training & materials that you need
5. Share with nurseries in your area your passion for what you do
6. Teach classes
7.Scale
We are different, in a relevant way.
How we are different – we are bendy, giggly, clever, and strong.
BENDY
Ours is a flexible business model to suit your needs but within a structure that works.
GIGGLY
The number one reason people work with us is to have a more meaningful, creative & fun career.
CLEVER
We guide & support you in running your business.
STRONG
We are a community - although you work for yourself, you are not by yourself.
We are ethical with a focus on making a positive social impact in the communities that embrace us.
We operate under a model of sustainability for personal, emotional, social, and physical well-being.
We take a holistic view of the long-term to bring a return on investment to you and your community.
We are the UK’s longest-running children’s yoga company and are very, very good at what we do (& have awards that prove it.)
We have been franchising since 2007, & are skilled at guiding you from the very first enquiry, to help you decide if this will be a good match for us both. We help you with research & business planning so as well as buying with your heart, you can make an informed business decision.
Dont worry, most of our network have never run a business before but relish the opportunity to own their own working life.
A key difference with the franchise model is that there is a network of like-minded people doing the same thing - but not in competition. This means you are working for yourself, but not by yourself.
All the tools and advice you need are available. Unlike being a sole trader or teacher, we provide all the artwork, content, advice, and know-how you need to be successful.
There are no guarantees, but studies show that franchises have a success rate of approximately 90 percent as compared to only about 15 percent for businesses that are started from the ground up.
