Does anyone have any experience running a Baby Sensory or Reading Fairy franchise

[Jessing03]

I'm looking at potentially buying in and running my own franchise of Reading Fairy. Does anyone have any knowledge of how much you can earn running classes? I know it will depend on how many classes I were to run but any insights would be really helpful.

Why do you need to buy into a franchise though? I'm sure they can't offer you anything you can't do yourself?

I don't know what this reading fairy thing is but baby massage/ sensory classes you can just do some training and set up yourself, I would think?

No experience. But join baby sensory woking group. Katy is the main local leader and so incredibly friendly - why not reach out to her for a chat? She seems from what she says on social media and how she was at class a huge advocate for doing this.

Plus as she is woking and bagshot - close but not competition for reading

I had a quick look and it seems quite good, assuming that you have some relevant experience as a practitioner in the early years or KS1 to draw upon?

I think that the advantage of a franchise is that it will provide a lot of the ‘business’ elements, so I notice that the class booking is all done via the website. However, you might also find that somewhat prescriptive as a franchise probably has quite strict guidelines around how you setup, describe, promote and run your sessions.

The only other thing that I would say is that the new free childcare entitlements coming in mean that there might be fewer babies, toddlers and preschoolers around in the week. So it might depend on the area that you live in?

I would strongly recommend against a franchise like this, I have personally just finished a contract from the WOW World Group, you will find the Franchisors have quite a heafty franchise fee, slower periods are not taking into account so you will pay the same fee over the Summer Holidays where you will find your numbers low.
Reading Fairy is a beautiful programme, however you have to put ALOT of work into it and dont reap alot of the rewards.
