Make a big splash with Puddle Ducks!

Has your life turned upside-down since having children? Do you wonder how you will ever cope with a 9-5 job again?

 
Come and join Puddle Ducks, one of the fastest-growing preschool franchise opportunities. Have fun, run your own business and still have time to spend with your family.

Tracy and Jo started Puddle Ducks six years ago, when they turned their love of swimming with their babies into a business opportunity. Jo says "we are passionate about our ethos of providing a safe, fun and unique time for parents and babies within a highly professional environment."

Puddle Ducks teach little ones to swim. From birth to starting school - there are specially designed classes which support natural reflexes and development.  Water confidence quickly leads to independent swimming above and under the water. Most Puddle Ducks can dive and swim several metres when they start school.

Puddle Ducks is offering a fantastic hands-on, flexible franchise.  New franchisees complete specialised training including all the necessary teaching qualifications.  The competitive package includes in-depth and relevant business advice and everything the franchisee will need to run a successful and rewarding business.

New from Organix

Organix is adding two new recipes to its popular Savoury Pots range! The tasty new recipes are Organic Beef with Parsnip Mash and Organic Potato, Chicken and Herb Casserole. They are available in Asda now, followed by Waitrose and Morrisons in February, and Tesco and Sainsburys in June.
 
The additions to the Savoury Pots range mean there are now eight recipes: four for Stage One and four for Stage Two - all made with pure organic ingredients. They all contain a balance of wholesome nutrients, fibre and essential proteins.  The foods are also unique as Organix is the only baby food company to use wholegrain rice and pasta in their savoury dishes.

Perfect pots of goodness for babies on the move!

This month we feature Victoria's story as her business reaches it's 1st anniversary!

TinyTalk Basingstoke was launched in January 2008 by Victoria Andrew, a mother to 22 month Sam and 4 year old Oliver, offering weekly Baby Signing Classes in Basingstoke and the surrounding areas.

 

Victoria tell us more. "Having read about the benefits of baby signing when I was pregnant, I was keen to attend baby signing classes once my baby was born. I started looking for classes when Sam was around 3 months old and came across the TinyTalk."

 

"The teacher franchise package caught my eye and after finding out more about it, I decided to join the growing team of TinyTalk teachers and set up my own classes! It was one of the best decisions I made! I love to see the look on a Mum's face when her baby signs for the first time (usually milk!). "

 

"Owning my own business has meant that I can organise my work so that I spend lots of time with my family whilst enjoying tremendous satisfaction from owning my own business and see it grow as more and more Mums join my classes."

 

"Recently I have undertaken more training with TinyTalk and am now able to offer baby signing training to Nurseries, Childcare Professionals and Childminders. The ability to take further training to expand my business and to personally gain more skills has led to a very happy Mum in Business."
