Working parents nationwide are set to beat rising childcare costs during the summer holidays thanks to an award winning, musical solution!
“One of the main attractions of a home-based franchise opportunity such as Music Bugs, is that mums really do have the flexibility to choose working hours that suit their own families individual needs”, - Claire Bennett, Music Bugs
Working parents up and down the UK are already starting to feel the pressure as the long summer holidays loom, leaving them with the perennial battle to find suitable child-care so that they can continue to work.
All is calm however at the Head Offices of Music Bugs, www.musicbugs.co.uk a company offering flexible preschool music franchise opportunities, as their growing army of franchisees opt to set aside their tambourines and puppets for the holidays to concentrate on enjoying some quality, stress-free time with their own families.
It is all thanks to the award-winning companies ‘family-friendly’ approach which allows franchisees to choose their own working hours avoiding the need for costly, over-subscribed childcare.
“One of the main attractions of a home-based franchise opportunity such as Music Bugs, is that mums really do have the flexibility to choose working hours that suit their own families individual needs”, says Claire Bennett who founded the company and launched the franchise opportunity 18 months ago. “We receive dozens of enquiries every week from women, mostly mums, who are looking to achieve a better balance of their home and working lives and to take more control over their working day.”
It is a trend that is backed up by research published by Enterprise Nation www.enterprisenation.com the Home Business Website who say “more than 60% of new businesses are now started from home – that’s 1,400 new businesses every week and mums are leading the way as they seek to readjust their work-life balance”
Says Bennett “firms and businesses are simply not doing enough to provide working parents with the flexibility they need to balance work and family life and we are now seeing a growing trend of mums who have decided to take the matter into their own hands”.
Music Bugs classes now operate around the UK. The classes are aimed at children aged 6 months to 4 years and provide play-based interactive music sessions to aid in the development of language, numeracy, social and physical skills. Current franchisees include teachers, childminders, sales executives, mums, hairdressers and recruitment consultants.
