Business description
Tinies Childcare is the largest childcare recruitment franchise in the UK. It currently has 25 franchises across the country. It specialises in the recruitment of childcarers for families, but also provides excellent supply and permanent staff to both the large nursery chains and the smaller independent nurseries. It has also expanded its business by providing a mobile crèche service for weddings and special events, as well as supplying emergency childcare services to employees of large corporations. Over the last 30 years that this company has been trading, profits have risen year on year. In 2003 the network turnover was £1m and in 2008 it was £4m. Buying a Tinies branch means you have the guaranteed brand name (currently the leading childcare agency in the country); you have continued support and training from Tinies Head Office, with a team of people dedicated to making your business work for you; you have access to the largest database of childcarers in the country; and a website that attracts more business than any other childcare agency website in the UK.
