Become a Jo Jingles Franchisee to enjoy a rewarding, flexible business that fits around your family life

The Jo Jingles Franchise offers a fun Children’s Music, Singing and Movement Business providing educational and interactive music, singing and movement classes for babies and preschool children aged 3 months to 5 years. Launched by Gill Thomas in 1995, Jo Jingles are one of the longest running, most well-known and largest children’s activity franchises in the UK.

Ready to run your own business?

Jo Jingles is a flexible, family minded franchise that currently operates in over 700 centres nationwide bringing baby and toddler music classes to over 20,000 children each week.

Their aim is always to give children the opportunity to explore, discover and develop the core skills they need for a solid foundation in life through the fun medium of music.

You don’t have to have a musical background to succeed with Jo Jingles and franchisees join them from all walks of life.

What will your day to day life look like as a Jo Jingles Franchisee?

This is entirely dependent on the class timetable and venues you set up for your business, but you can expect to spend some mornings running classes of up to 45 minutes for various age groups from 3 months to walking, 2+ and preschool. These will take place in local halls, function rooms and play centres of your choosing.

Afternoons will usually be spent in schools or nurseries delivering classes to children in Early Years settings. You also have the opportunity to run intergenerational sessions in care home settings too which has proven very popular.

In addition, you will need to spend some of your time planning and delivering the marketing of your business. This may include social media, networking events, meeting potential venue managers, and responding to online class booking enquiries for classes and parties. 

As your business grows you have the option to take on class teachers to help you scale your business when you are ready.

Potential returns

The returns from your business depend on the area and the number of classes that you run. Most owners recoup their initial investment within a year to 18 months and are typically in profit in their first year.

The average annual turnover per franchisee is c.£38k and their top performing franchisee is now generating in excess of a six-figure annual turnover.

Jo Jingles Training

When you take on a Jo Jingles franchise your business becomes part of their brand so they have a vested interest in making sure you have all the tools and support you need to hit the ground running and offer your customers a brilliant experience from the moment you begin.

Following your initial training week, you will be provided with all the equipment, including instruments and marketing material you need to get started in promoting your business and delivering your classes.

Once you’re set up, they don’t just leave you to fend for yourself in this brand-new world.

You will also have access to their experienced Franchise Network support group on Facebook which is full of others in the same position as you – a great opportunity to ask questions and get tips and advice from a franchisee’s perspective.

To top up your Jo Jingles skill set and provide additional tips and tricks for business success they run their franchise conference every 18 months which is a great way to catch up with the Network.
