What do our franchisees say?

Jemma runs West Wirral classes and has done for 6 years

Owning a Popcat’s franchise is the best of both worlds in business - I run a small manageable but very profitable business, with no employees, and the support of a brilliant franchise manager and a fabulous team. The business structure is already in place, so I just get to do the fun stuff and run my classes each day!

Emma runs classes in Warrington

I purchased the WA5 Popcat's franchise just over 2 months ago with no prior business experience. Whilst I was confident in my ability to deliver the sessions, I was quite anxious about the business and marketing side of things. Catherine and Jess have been so supportive; I honestly couldn't have wished for more!

Before beginning my sessions, I received in depth training which included everything that I needed from session structure and delivery to the ins and outs of business and social media marketing. The support doesn't stop there either; Catherine and Jess are always on hand to answer any questions and we have a termly team meeting too. I'm now feeling much more confident, just 2 months in. What I have really loved is the supportive network that is provided by other more experienced Popcat franchise owners. We're all in a group chat together and this provides a great source for advice and further support.

From a financial point of view, I made a small profit in month one and my numbers have continued to grow in month two - I started by delivering just 3 sessions per week and due to popular demand, I'm now running 4 sessions per week and I'm beginning to get interest from Nursery settings and parents hosting parties for their little ones.

My work-life balance is incomparable to before I took the Popcat's leap and to be completely honest, it just doesn't feel like 'work'!

Claire runs classes in Neston Cheshire

I first discovered Popcat’s as a Mum and loved the classes. The Pay as you Go aspect suited me as it was so flexible and the classes were such fun and value for money. I loved watching my little boy grow and get different pleasures at each age- from the bubbles and lights, to cuddling the animals, to counting time ten and finally singing and dancing to all of the songs. As a Primary School teacher, I recognised how valuable the structure and repetition was for him and how many aspects of learning were covered within the class. Feeling jaded about teaching, I decided to make the leap and buy my own franchise of Popcat’s. I love having my own business whilst benefiting from the support and hand holding of Catherine and the other class leaders. We are a strong team. A pandemic might not have been the best time to start my own business but I have no regrets. I love running classes and bringing joy to lots of little ones and every day makes me smile. I get to pick my son up from school every day and don’t have that Sunday night feeling anymore! I’m definitely happier in myself and who wouldn’t be getting to do the Hokey Cokey everyday! Thank you for having me Catherine.

Emma loves running her own business

I took Popcat’s to Deeside back in April 2022 buying the CH5 Postcode.

I was familiar with the class dynamics and felt confident that I would be able to run the sessions having taken my little boy since he was a baby however, setting up on your own having had no previous business background or experience I sat on the fence for a short while and originally wasn’t due to begin classes till September 2022….enter Catherine and Jess and a whole plethora of support from both them and now, fellow Franchisees and I was sold!

The support hasn’t ended there. From that moment onwards the backing from the Popcat’s team, assistance from the Director with set up and full training on class structure, social media marketing and the business side of things has been second to none. You are never alone, both Catherine, Jess and the other girls are on hand offering a great network and source of support and advice whenever I may need it.

I find myself now being a happier person to live with and be around for my little family as well as my Popcat’s classes thriving in just a short few weeks with additional sessions to my current 3 a week in the pipeline for the very near future!

Take the Leap, you will reap the rewards of which there are many! 😊

Hollie runs classes in Northwich and started during the pandemic

Hi my name is Hollie, I was an early years teacher for 13 years. I am a mum to three amazing children, Lilia, George and Matilda, the best job in the world! When I was teaching I felt I was helping everyone else’s children and letting mine down, because I never had enough time in the day, then I made a big decision to leave teaching

I joined Popcat’s in January 2021, just as lockdown struck! The beginning of my adventure started on zoom and I absolutely loved every minute of it. Then restrictions lifted and I didn’t realise how much more I could love my job. Popcat’s has changed not only my life, but my whole family. I have never been happier and I have never looked back.

Sophie has just re signed her agreement for the second time

Who wouldn’t want to have their afternoons free to be spent doing what they want! Joining Popcat’s has given me a wonderful work/life balance which means that I’m home by 1.30pm most afternoons! Running your own business comes with hard work and determination to succeed but if you are prepared to put the work in it will pay off. When I decided to take a side step from secondary teaching I knew I still wanted to work with children, Popcat’s has allowed me to form wonderful relationships with families who attend classes and has allowed me to use my skills as a teacher to deliver engaging, educational and fun sessions for children. I’m very proud of the business I have built up and feel very honoured that parents/carers choose to return to my classes time after time.

Laurie runs classes in Bebington and Bromborough

I have been a Popcat’s class leader now for just over 2 years and 18 months of that was during Covid-19 but I can honestly say I would sign up again in a heartbeat beat! The support I receive from Catherine and the team is amazing, I never feel alone.

Popcat's changed my life and gave me and my family our happiness back again! The only thing I regret is not signing sooner than I did.

Laura runs classes in Runcorn

I can't believe this much fun is my job now! Sat in the car after my taster class and I am stunned at how much I loved it.
