A Business Model Built for Today (and Tomorrow)

Over the past 20 years, the sector has evolved significantly.

Schools are increasingly outsourcing delivery, while parents need reliable, high-quality childcare they can trust.

This creates a powerful opportunity to build a business with:

• Consistent demand
• Long-term contracts
• Recurring revenue

Progressive sits at the centre of this shift.

“In my first year, I was on track to generate £80–85k revenue with around 30% profit. The support from head office has been brilliant from day one.”
James Evans, Franchisee – South Lancashire

From Starting Out to Scaling Up

Whether you want a flexible income or to build a larger operation, the model supports both.

Many franchisees start small and grow over time — building teams, securing more schools, and increasing revenue year-on-year.

“We’re now on track for over £750k turnover, and it’s grown from a small operation into a proper business.”
Adam Holland, Franchisee – Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire

“The support from head office has been first class from day one. You’re part of a network, but still in control of your own business.”
Kris England, Franchisee - Bristol & South Glos
