What is Fun Fest?
Fun Fest Holiday Clubs give children the freedom to choose from a menu of exciting activity sessions every morning and afternoon to design their own individual holiday programme. During their week at Fun Fest, a child can get the chance to play Quidditch, build a den, bake a cake, learn to juggle, score a goal, solve a mystery, paint a masterpiece, hold a snake, have a manicure and enjoy a party!
The ethos of empowering children and embracing their individuality sets Fun Fest apart from traditional holiday childcare services and enables the brand to extend into other services such as wraparound care and children’s parties.
Success
Having built a reputation for quality childcare with Ofsted, schools and parents, the network of Fun Fest Holiday Clubs has grown steadily since its launch in 2017 to over 40 clubs, generating revenue in excess of £3 million per annum.
What makes Fun Fest successful is its focus on providing exceptional childcare services and building a network of satisfied franchisees who can scale their business to make significant returns from a seasonal business.
Franchisees are training to become Ofsted-nominated individuals and, with the ongoing training and support from the team of highly skilled and experienced childcare professionals, all Ofsted inspections to date have been completed successfully.
Members of the BFA and EWIF and listed in the Elite Franchise list of the UK’s Top 100 franchises for 6 years running, Fun Fest won this year’s award for continual improvement in franchisee satisfaction.
Meeting the needs of today’s parents
The demand for childcare is high due to the challenges faced by today’s parents. More parents are working full-time with a reduced childcare support network, resulting in limited childcare options. Fun Fest solves this problem by offering reliable, quality childcare provision for all primary age children from as young as 3 years old.
Meeting the needs of its franchisees
Fun Fest sees its role as enabling franchisees to fulfil their dreams and provides ultimate flexibility in the type of business that they can build. Whilst running a single club as a part-time venture is still an option, most franchisees have expanded over time to run multiple clubs. Area Developer roles provide ambitious franchisees with an opportunity to scale up rapidly at low cost.
Rewards
One established club typically has turnover of £100k per annum with an expected profit margin of 25%.
From this, franchisees can scale up by running multiple clubs and wraparound services.
Franchise Model
Fun Fest initially offers sole ownership of a territorial region in the UK within which they can open multiple clubs. Proven franchisees are supported to expand into other territories and a limited number of Area Developer roles are available for more ambitious individuals.
The initial franchise price includes:

School finding services: We analyse and contact suitable schools within your territory, market Fun Fest to them, attend meetings and write a proposal.
Marketing: Pre-launch digital marketing package includes SEO, Google and social media advertising campaigns.
Operational Support: Operations manual, toolboxes, route to opening plan and director/mentor to guide you through the process.
Training: A mixture of online and face-to-face training, including your Ofsted Nominated Individual training and a week working in a club to get experience in every role within a club.
Regulatory Licence: Fun Fest will work with you to gain your Ofsted licence and to adhere to Ofsted regulations and guidelines, preparing you for your Ofsted inspection.
Website: Each club has its own website page to promote its services and where customers register, book and pay for their childcare. It has an associated Management App to take care of club administration and provide access to live management information.
