Phil Moran from My Secret Kitchen has posted in the forum about how much he likes the online press release service, Response Source. If he passes by there today, he’ll spot a release from fellow Enterprise Nation member, Claire Bennett, who’s talking about childcare this Summer. It’s an example of a well written release and we weren’t swayed at all by the fact it gives us a mention! 

No childcare headaches this summer for UK’s growing number of home-based business mums

Swindon, 10 July 2008: Working parents up and down the UK are already starting to feel the pressure as the long summer holidays loom, leaving them to face the perennial battle to find suitable child-care.

At the Head Offices of Music Bugs however, a company offering flexible preschool music franchises, all is calm as franchisees opt to set aside their tambourines and puppets for the holidays to concentrate on enjoying some quality, stress-free time with their families.

“One of the main attractions of a home-based franchise opportunity such as ours is that mums can choose their own part time and family friendly hours”, says Claire Bennett who founded the company and launched the franchise opportunity 18 months ago. “We receive dozens of enquiries every week from women, mostly mums, who are looking to escape from the rat race and take more control over their working day.”

It is a trend that is backed up by research published by Enterprise Nation, the Home Business Website who say “more than 60% of new businesses are now started from home – that’s 1,400 new businesses every week and mums are leading the way as they seek to readjust their work-life balance”

Says Bennett “firms and businesses are simply not doing enough to provide working parents with the flexibility they need to balance work and family life and we are now seeing a growing trend of mums who have decided to take the matter into their own hands”

Music Bugs classes now operate around the UK. The classes are aimed at children aged 6 months to 4 years and provide play-based interactive music sessions to aid in the development of language, numeracy, social and physical skills. Current franchisees include teachers, childminders, sales executives, mums, hairdressers and recruitment consultants. New applications are welcomed.
