La Jolie Ronde Franchise Opportunity

Franchise Facts

What is the business? Pyjama Drama is a fun creative program combining drama, music and creative play, designed for children between the ages of two and five.

The program offers children with opportunities to explore real and imagined worlds through the medium of drama. Guided by the session leader, children take on a number of different roles within a variety of dramas - space explorers flying to the moon to catch stars, parents taking their sick baby to the doctors, children buying a new pair of shoes or baby dragons lost in the jungle for example.

Every session uses music and song to bring make believe worlds to life and encourages children to enjoy the huge benefits of creative play.

The program can be delivered in schools, nurseries and playgroups and supports the current requirements of the National Curriculum.

Investment required: The initial franchise package costs £2,500 and includes:

  • Teaching equipment
  • Comprehensive lesson plans, instruments, parachute, music, play cloths and play equipment
  • Ongoing support and training
  • Expert training and continuing ongoing support through the 'buddy system'
  • An all inclusive manual offering guidance on all areas of running a Pyjama Drama franchise
  • Publicity material - Posters, leaflets, flyers and your own page on the Pyjama Drama web site
  • Access to all administrative material you need to run a business from home

After the first year, a fee of £700 is required to renew the contract. Franchisees should fund a CRB check (£36) and ensure Public Liability insurance is in place (approx £160).

Earning Potential: Financial rewards can be excellent, even if sessions are run term time only and on a part time basis. Sessions last for forty minutes and franchisees should charge what they believe is fair within the area in which they are working.

As a guide, franchisees could earn in between £48 and £60 per session (before room hire costs) and between £32 - £40 for sessions taken in a nursery or playgroup (no room hire costs involved).

Extra income can be generated through the sales of CD's and T shirts.

Is there training/support for franchisees? Pyjama Drama training lasts for one full day and offers franchisees with opportunities to observe, as well as to lead part of a session. Trainers are experienced session leaders who are able to fully support franchisees in all aspects of the business.

After initial training, each franchisee is assigned a 'buddy' who will be on hand to offer ongoing advice, support and encouragement for as long as the franchisee needs.

Best suited to: Energetic Mums or Dads who want to put their family first, whilst developing an exciting and rewarding career for themselves.

Potential franchisees should take pleasure in singing, dancing, telling stories and should have the confidence to lead groups of children (and their parents!) in drama and creative play. A background or interest in drama would be ideal (this may simply be a love of drama at school) and potential franchisees should have a warm and friendly personality that would appeal to young children.
