How often do you work?

3 days a week from 10am-3.30pm plus admin in the evenings.

How does the job fit around your family life?

Perfectly. Within reason I can arrange my classes around my child care provision PLUS spend quality time with my children during the week.

How much time do you commit?

Approximately 20-25 hours a week allowing for classes and admin.

Where do you carry out your work?

In various class venues such as halls, nurseries, schools and children’s centres. All the admin is done at home.

Do you need a car?

Yes. A car is vital to the job in order to carry around mats. props etc and also allow easy movement between multiple venues.

Do you advertise?

Yes I do with my local edition of Families and Primary Times. Both of which have proven to be worthwhile.

How did you hear about the job?

I was looking for a Tatty Bumpkin class for my children. I contacted head office after looking on their website and seeing the opportunity to buy into a franchise.

Do you get support/training?

Yes. Substantial training is provided and perhaps even more importantly, moral support in bundles!!!

Are there any downsides to the job?

Getting yourself motivated, after a long day, to sit down and log onto your emails is a challenge. But I often find that 5 minutes later I am fired up and enthused and tapping away!

Would you recommend this franchise opportunity to other Mums?

Definitely. You have to be prepared to throw yourself in and keep smiling regardless. Tatty Bumpkin was born from a nurturing, loving mother and that comes through in the classes. You either get it or you don’t. If you do get it then you cannot fail to make a success of it. Within 6 months of starting the franchise the financial rewards have already started to be realized. I am starting to take on teachers to expand the business which will put me 6 months ahead of my original business plan.
