Karen was looking to return to work on a more flexible basis - so that she could work the hours that suited her.
Karen was particularly keen to run her own business; however she was worried about the risks e.g. high set-up costs, brand development, which markets to access, research and much more.
So when Karen was approached by Enchanted Childcare to become their first Franchisee, she leapt at the chance.
Karen says: "I was excited and nervous about the prospect of owning the trial franchise for Enchanted Childcare in Essex and I am still excited every day as my business, and the whole of Enchanted Childcare, goes from strength to strength. I saw the Franchise opportunity as a fantastic way forward for my career and for my family, and it has proved better than I’d even hoped!
Justine and Helen have been extremely helpful and the support and guidance I have received has been great. They’re always there to answer any queries I have or to help and encourage me along the way. Right from day one I have been made to feel comfortable and at ease knowing I have people to turn to.
I am so looking forward to growing my business further in the future and am aiming to be the best nanny agency in Essex!" Karen (South Essex)
