Solving the Puzzle
Business Franchise magazine, April 2005
With more mothers choosing to return to work, there is an unprecedented demand for nursery places - especially those with high quality resources. Our highly successful core-business in Hertfordshire has provided all the right ingredients for the Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries Franchise, which is now developing nationally with British Franchise Association Accreditation.
As you would expect, child-care is subject to considerable statutory regulation covering both staffing and premises, and compliance with the requirements of OFSTED is mandatory. However, Monkey Puzzle Franchisees benefit from a substantial package of know-how and support that addresses literally everything - initial setting up, comprehensive training, staff recruitment, local publicity and an excellent programme of continuing back-up that aims for best practice and sound financial performance.
Monkey Puzzle is essentially a "management" franchise and previous childcare experience is not a requirement. Some of our Franchisees are involved personally in the day-to-day running of their nurseries, while others employ a manager to head up their childcare team. Regarding investment: the overall outlay will obviously depend on premises costs and the liquid capital requirement is typically from £18,000, with the balance funded by way of a bank business loan.
