arents desire high-quality service providers to care for, teach and entertain their children. Children
are becoming increasingly sophisticated customers; they know what they want and what they like and are not afraid to tell you! The Fun Fest team listen carefully to what children tell them to ensure that their services are child-centred. Having established a unique child- led position in the holiday childcare market in the UK, Fun Fest has expanded its franchise streams to include day nurseries, before- and after-school clubs, and children’s parties. Every child is different and Fun Fest
Holiday Club embraces this by offering them a choice of exciting activities every morning and afternoon, meaning that children design their own holiday timetable, choosing activities they love or trying something new. In one week, a Fun Fest Holiday Club can offer a chance to play Quidditch, hold a snake, bake a cake, build a den, learn to juggle, score a goal, design a bag, solve a treasure hunt, paint a canvas, and drive like Lewis Hamilton. Knowing that their children are
having fun and benefitting from these opportunities is a key factor in parents’ choice of holiday childcare, but Fun Fest Holiday Club ensures that it delivers on

other important aspects, too. The clubs are: Ofsted-registered and managed by qualified childcare professionals
Based in local primary school premises and take children from three years old
Open from 8am to 6pm for all the school holidays
Eligible for childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare
Having built strong relationships with schools where the holiday clubs are based, Fun Fest was increasingly being asked to run their before- and after-school clubs. As a result, it now offers this as a complementary service to schools and as an additional income stream for franchisees. By providing a different Fun Fest activity session every afternoon, such as pottery, dodgeball, origami or tag rugby, children can enjoy a variety of different after-school activities. Parents are constantly looking for
inspiration for their children’s birthday parties. The most popular Fun Fest activity sessions are ideally suited to this, and so children can now enjoy a range of unique party themes on their special day. Before- and after-school clubs and parties are natural extensions of the Fun Fest Holiday Club concept, which have been developed as a result of listening to customers, whether they are the children
themselves, their parents or their schools. Franchisees can choose to run one, two or all three franchise systems. With decades of experience of running nurseries rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, the Fun Fest team are delighted to be able to bring this expertise to the market with the launch of the Fun Fest Day Nursery franchise in 2020. The aim is to inspire awe and wonder through a unique child-centred curriculum in calm, enabling environments. There has never been a better time
to provide childcare in out-of-school hours. There are unprecedented levels of demand, as mothers in particular return to work in greater numbers than ever before, at the same time as there is a lack of adequate provision across the UK. Fun Fest aims to fill this gap by providing working parents across the UK with the ideal solution to their childcare dilemmas. Kate Bailey, franchisee for Lichfield and Tamworth, says: “I have been a franchisee for just over a year. I have one thriving holiday club, which is making a good level of profit, and I’m now working towards opening my second club, which I have achieved alongside other work and family commitments. “It is very rewarding, as I get such good
feedback from my customers, and I love the level of flexibility and choice that I have as a franchisee in building my business.” If you are looking for an exciting and quality brand in a growth market that will earn fantastic returns for a flexible working life, then you should consider choosing fun for a living.
