This year, the organisers of The National Franchise Exhibition have teamed up with The Creation Station, to bring the Children’s Activity Centre to the NEC on Saturday 2 October.

 

Families can experience an award winning Exploration Class whilst mum takes the opportunity to attend the many seminars taking place across the day and chat to the franchises exhibiting.

 

There are a whole host of companies who offer opportunities to suit women seeking flexible working hours in order to supplement a family income or juggle the responsibilities of home and children. These include: Little Angels, Jabba Jacks, Banana Moon Day Nurseries, Creation Station and many more.

 

The Children’s Activity Centre, which is completely free, will be open on Saturday from 1015am until 1145am and from 2pm to 3.30pm. It will provide fun workshops where children can try out artistic creative activities that will stir their imagination, engage and entertain them in a safe environment while parents are looking around the event.

 

Adrian Goodsell, Franchise Exhibition Manager for The National Franchise Exhibition, commented: “We found out from research that some potential franchisees who wanted to attend our events were deterred by concerns about childcare on Saturday. That is why we are working with The Creation Station to provide this solution.”

 

The National Franchise Exhibition in Birmingham is open from 10am each day, closing at 5pm on Friday 1 October and 4pm on Saturday 2 October. To register please call +44 (0)844 257 8668 .
