Come and Join the Talking Tots team!

Are you looking for a new professional challenge? Would you like to be your own boss and work around your family and other commitments? Can you inspire and entertain a group of toddlers?

Yes? Then running your own Talking Tots franchise could be the answer.

Owning a Talking Tots franchise means you can enjoy the freedom and flexibility of running your own business while having the support of a strong, recognised brand every step of the way.

What is Talking Tots?

Talking Tots was created in 2005 by Tracey Park and Lisa Houghton. As highly experienced paediatric speech and language therapists, Tracey and Lisa saw first hand how many young children struggle to communicate with confidence – and set about creating a unique programme that helps all children aged 12 months – 5 years to develop vital communication skills such as:

• self esteem & social confidence
• great listening & attention
• turn-taking & sharing skills
• confident communication
• imagination & story telling
• pre-literacy skills

Today, Talking Tots is a thriving national business, and the fastest growing preschool activity franchise. All our Talking Tots classes are a unique blend of games, rhymes and activities, carefully designed to entertain and engage young children.

Working with Talking Tots means you’ll be offering parents something entirely new – we are the only preschool franchise focusing exclusively on communication and social confidence – probably the most important skills children ever learn!
