Children's Franchise Comes of Age

Musical Minis are proud to be celebrating their 21st Anniversary this month. That’s 21 years of making learning fun for over 30,000 pre-school children.

Musical Minis, a children's education franchise, was founded in 1989 by Karen Sherr, a former Great Ormond Street Hospital Play Specialist. After unsuccessfully searching for a suitable Mother & Baby Group for her son, Matthew, Karen decided to develop her own.

She used her skills and experience in child psychology to form Musical Minis. Based around fun, music and play, Musical Minis’ classes encourage cognitive development, improved confidence and sociability for pre-school children.

The outstanding popularity of the early classes quickly led to Karen franchising the business so that the concept could be spread across the country. Franchisees benefit from the expertise, experience and support of founder Karen Sherr throughout every aspect of their Musical Minis business.

Quick Success with Children's Party Franchise

Melanie Lower was looking on the internet for party ideas for her son when she came across Emporium Parties.

Not only did she find the perfect party solution, she also noticed that they were offering a children's party franchise in her area, in Haywards Heath, Sussex. Melanie was not actively looking for a new career at the time but the business model appealed to her, especially as she had previous experience and qualifications in many different types of dance.

Melanie met with business founder Karen Friend, and franchise specialist, Tony and bought the franchise in October 2009. Training took place in November and December and Melanie was ready to launch by January 2010.
