This very much depends on your commitment but our experience is that after the first year a Kids Collective Franchisee working a 25 hour week, with an average occupancy level of 14 children at Breakfast Club and 21 at After School Club, (5 hours per day over 5 days) and 38 weeks a year, can turnover £59,850 and generate a net trading profit before taxes and interest of £26,961.

The figures in later years will depend upon whether you continue with the role of the Club Leader, actively working in the business to provide the wraparound care, or move into a management role bringing more people into the business to work with you to deliver the services.

Note: These figures are intended as a guide only. They are not designed to be a guarantee of income or profit and should not be taken as this. We have prepared a detailed financial model that we will share with you during a meeting with the detail supporting the above figures. Franchisee figures will vary subject to their local market conditions.

Kids Collective (Franchise) Ltd will not accept any liability in relation to any variation from these figures for an individual franchisee. You are advised to take professional advice from a solicitor and an accountant prior to entering into any franchise relationship and a list of appropriate advisors can be found at the British Franchise Association website www.bfa.org.uk

Kids Collective was established in 2003 and provides out-of-school childcare for children between the ages of 3-11 years. We currently run Breakfast Clubs and After School Clubs at eight schools during school term-time and three Holiday Clubs. Kids Collective is a quality out of school care provider, offering structured, planned and well managed child care services that complement what the children do in school. We’re a professional company and our complete ethos is about offering a great service to our parents and a great experience to their children.

Outstanding Childcare

Of the Group’s locations, the vast majority have been found 'Outstanding' in every area by Ofsted in unannounced inspections, with the remainder deemed ‘Outstanding’ in many areas with overall ratings of 'Good'. This is an exceptionally high standard, one of the highest in the country and not matched by any other regional provider. The organisation has won a number of regional awards for exceptional learning environments, staff development and child nutrition, including: Trafford’s 'Healthy Club Awards', Trafford's ‘Inclusion Stamp’ Awards and finalists in the 2017 Raring2go awards for ‘Best After School and Holiday Club’.

We chose franchising as the way to expand our business model as we recognise the challenge of maintaining these standards and we need great people to help us do this. We are looking for franchisees who share our views about quality child care services and our passion about the business, so that we can provide the Kids Collective service to the same high standards across the UK.

Supporting our franchisees

We are totally committed to building and maintaining a highly professional and successful network of franchisees. Our Franchisees are fundamentally important to our long term business strategy. That’s why as a Kids Collective franchisee, you can be assured that we will dedicate ourselves to the task of working with you to make a success of your business.

All of our franchisees and their employees must be child centred individuals who have passion for children and their welfare. We require that either the franchisee or a key member of staff hold a level 3 qualification in childcare or playwork. If as a potential franchisee you do not hold that qualification, you can employ a key member of staff that does and if you choose to do so, you can gain this qualification as you run the business.

You must go through a Criminal Record Check at Enhanced Disclosure level (DBS check) with the resulting report being clean of any and all criminal convictions and/or police warnings and a good credit rating. You also need to have excellent communication skills, be organised, self-motivated and have a determination to succeed.

You will be responsible for the day to day running of the business. This will involve planning the rotas and daily activities for the club, staff management, dealing with parents and children, financial management and generally following the franchise system. As anyone in business knows, one of the other secrets to business success is the ability to be resilient and solve any problems that are encountered as they arise.  There is also an accounts and administration role which you will need to deal with effectively to ensure that the business is run smoothly and as part of this you will need to be computer literate and comfortable with basic software packages such as Word and Excel.
