Over the summer, we asked our franchisees two questions:

1.) How satisfied are you with your work/life balance?

2.) How satisfied are you with the financial rewards of running your business?

How did they answer?

We all love winning new business but there's something special about those who were around when you very first started. Park Lane Nursery in Welshpool was the very first setting I taught in, over 15 years ago, and they still have a Pyjama Drama class every single week!

Quick quiz for you - if you answer, 'yes' to the following, you're most likely perfectly suited to being a Pyjama Drama franchisee...

Not all adults who work with children know how to play – do you agree? I believe that just as every child knows how to play, every adult (given that they too were once a child!) also knows. But, in part because the word ‘play’ is associated with children, all too often play breaks down because adults feel self-conscious, particularly when asked to engage children in imaginative play (which by its nature, dictates that we throw off our adult persona completely).

Yesterday, I decided to do the job of a franchisee as an experiment. I set myself the challenge of calling nurseries to 'sell' Pyjama Drama - the single thing franchisees say they dread most!

If you're considering a career change; maybe looking for family-friendly work, a more flexible way of working, or a way to (finally!) utilise your drama skills, a Pyjama Drama franchise might be one of your options. 

Running your own business is, admittedly, hard work but when you chose the right one, the rewards can be immense! Our family-friendly, flexible franchise allows you to make a difference in your local community, earn a good income and still be around to pick the children up from school! 

Our Guildford franchise is up for sale - meet current owner, Anthony...

"My wife and I are both actors and wanted to start a business of our own, one that would use our skill base; pulling funny faces, jumping up and down, using funny voices - that sort of thing! But we also wanted to run a business that made a difference. Knowing we didn’t have the time or experience to set up our own business from scratch, we decided to look into franchising options..

In case you're considering whether or not buying a Pyjama Drama franchise is for you, we wanted to introduce ourselves. After all, if you choose to run a business with us, we'll be working very closely together!
