Baby Sensory Franchise

 Baby Sensory Franchise
Baby Franchise 

The Baby Sensory programme comprises over 40 unique, themed sessions for parents and their young babies. It draws on current research, the work of theorists, early year’s experts, and over 30 years of personal experience of founder Lin Day. 

Up to 20 parents and babies attend each Baby Sensory session and the sessions are typically run at a hired venue such as a local community centre. This style of operation has a number of benefits to the franchisee.

• Parental presence reduces the cost of insurance cover;
• The classes can be run by a Sole Operator;
• Manageable premises costs. 
  

Company History

Baby Sensory founder Dr Lin Day started running her own Baby Sensory classes in Salisbury in 2004. Following the success of her classes Lin decided to offer Baby Sensory franchises in July 06.

The first franchisee Lucy Thomson started her classes in Kent in October 2006. Baby Sensory now has over 100 franchisees running classes throughout the UK. One in every 60 babies born in the UK now attends Baby Sensory classes every week and classes run in over 300 locations. Additionally, the Baby Sensory programme now runs in 16 countries throughout the world including USA, China, Canada, Italy, Spain, Holland, Scandinavia, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

In Jan 2010, Baby Sensory launched its follow on programme Toddler Sense and this has had an immediate impact. There are now over 20 franchisees running the Toddler Sense programme in the UK and this is expected to grow dramatically in 2012.   

Franchisee Role 

Franchisees promote and run Baby Sensory franchise classes in their exclusive territory.

Franchisees run between 1 and 4 sessions per day and work between 2 and 4 days per week. Thus this is an ideal role for those looking for a rewarding and flexible career.
