Training with a difference

We don’t just train. We ignite a passion for learning through our programmes which have been designed specifically for wraparound and childcare providers.

Our programmes give you the knowledge you need to grow your business. But learning in just the first step. Next comes inspiration. We inspire you to create a tailor-made plan to apply this knowledge to your business.

And, it does not end there. Once you have developed your action plan, you are supported by expert mentors to support you to deliver your plan.

One-to-one mentoring for tailored support

Mentoring is where the magic happens. Your ideas combined with our knoweldge and experience will help your business to grow.

Our training programmes include mentoring. That is because we don’t just want to give you knowledge. We want you to apply it to your organisation and create an action plan. But action plans in dusty cupboards do not drive businesses forward. Through mentoring, we will support you to turn your action plan into reality.

Mentoring is also available to be booked whenever you feel a bit stuck, need a bit of support or want a business friend. It can be lonely running a business. As mentors we aim to be the manager you would love to have. To be your champion. To hold you to account. To give you honest feedback. To challenge your thinking. To make you fall back in love with your business again.

Consultancy - need something done and don’t have the skills to do it yourself? Ask the experts!

Sometimes you just do not have the skills you need within your business. Consultancy is where we do it for you.

You run a business, but you can’t be expert in everything. Even the largest businesses use consultants or expert advisers. When you don’t have the skills to do something in-house, ask us. We have a huge range of skills, and what’s more, we have a network of expert advisers - if we can’t help, we bet we can find someone who can!

We have reviewed policies, helped with strategic plan development, supported with recruitment, helped providers bid for National Wrapround Childcare Programme funding and much more!

A 6-Month Programme of Training, Support and Mentoring for Childcare Providers

Group Training + Peer-to-Peer Support + Expert Mentoring = Guaranteed Success

How it Works.

  • Online Training

    Each month we host an online training session to cover one aspect of running your business.

    Each cohort has a maximum of 12 participants.

    Leadership

    HR & Team Management

    Marketing

    Operational Excellence

    Working with Stakeholders

    Business Expansion

    You will acquire new knowledge.

  • Practical Application

    Learning new knowledge is just the first step. The application of that new skills is where change starts to happen.

    We have been on too many training courses where we came away with notes that never escaped from our notebooks.

    Every single one of our online training sessions will give you time, space and support to consider how this knowledge can be applied to your business.

    Training sessions are recorded so you can play back at your own pace.

    You will leave with a clear plan of action.

  • Peer-to-Peer Support

    But what happens when you get back to the day-to-day of staff, children, bookings and other demands? How does your action plan get, well, actioned?

    This is where peer-to-peer support comes in. You are invited to attend online facilitated sessions where you will be invited to discuss any challenges, get support from the group and to share what you intend to achieve in the time available.

    You will tick items off your plan of action.

  • Expert Mentoring

    It can be tough running a business. You don't have a manager. You are mindful of not overburdening staff with your fears. No one understands your challenges quite like you.

    Or do they? We grew a childcare business from start up to employing 150+ at the time of sale, with a turnover of over £1.5 million.

    There are not many challenges we haven't faced, got right, got wrong, learnt from or experienced.

    Plus we are qualified (or nearly qualified) to business mentors at masters level.

    Monthly one-to-one support to help your business grow.

Cost: £1800

Or pay £325/month (Total £1950)

All prices are plus VAT.

We are so committed to what this programme will bring to you that we offer you a money-back guarantee. Follow our programme. You will grow personally. Your business will grow. And, your problems… well, they’ll shrink!
