You can rest assured that this is a dilemma quite commonly faced by many people.

As you read on, you’ll find out just how The Creation Station franchise opportunity can provide the perfect solution allowing you to build your own rewarding,

The award winning Creation Station was established in 2002, in response to a lack of creative provision for children, by Sarah Cressall BSc(Hons) Art Dip. Sarah recognised the need for fun and creative experiences that as a Mum, she could enjoy with her own three young boys.

Any parent knows the reality of doing arts and crafts activities with children at home can be a more stressful experience than a positive one. Whilst children love experimenting with glue, paint, clay, glitter etc., the mess and stress can be just too much for many parent’s sanity!

With experience and a passion for nurturing creativity, along with a background in

and discovery.

The Creation Station Preschool sessions are in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (E.Y.F.S). The classes provide a safe, social and stress free experience for parents and children to enjoy fun and educational messy arts and crafts activities together. Now due to demand, this comprehensive franchise includes classes, parties, clubs, events and retail, giving you an all year round sustainable business, with multi cross selling and growthopportunities.

With the support of her husband Duncan, Sarah took time and care to develop the business so it fitted perfectly with being a Mum to her three boys and the commitments involved in looking afterher family. Having achieved the perfect flexible and financially rewarding business for herself, Sarah recognised there was huge potential for other like minded people to achieve personal and financal

Shobhana Sankarinspires imaginations in Sutton

After having my daughter my priorities changed. I wanted to bethere for my daughter and my family. Running my own franchise with a brand that shared my family values and personal valueswas the obvious choice for me.” Shobhana Sankar, mum to Bhruhati, inspires imaginations withThe Creation Station, Sutton, Surrey franchise.

“I worked as a research assistant in Molecular Neurobiology, but once I had my daughter my whole world changed. I wanted a flexible career that would fit around my family needs and my own aspirations. I come from a family who have all run their own businesses, so I understand the hard work that’s involved and also, the satisfaction and rewards that being my own boss would bring.

I liked the idea of franchising because of the benefit of a proven business model; this is a well-estab-lished brand that has already been tested across the UK. I’ve not ran a business myself before, so It’s great to have the reassurance of the brilliant franchise support structure for which The Creation Station won the prestigious ‘Best Franchise Marketing Support’ award in 2012.

This was going to be a big step for me and I needed to be sure it was right, so my husband and I did a lot of research before investing in my franchise. We attended the British Franchise Exhibition and a Discovery Event along with many calls to Maggie and all our questions were answered.

I was so excited about attending the Discovery Event, Sarah Cressall, the founder and her team were so friendly, attentive and down to earth I felt this was a business I believed in as it allowed me to work with children and watch them grow and develop. I love that the experiences focus on nurturing each child’s ‘Journey of Discovery’ and not the finished product. With all the session plans provided, I don’t have to think of new ideas each week. With so many potential income sources, I have a lot of flexibility in my business – it’s not just one thing. I also love the fact that I can bring my daughter along to classes too, not only am I saving on child care costs but I am able to share and inspire her too, which feels wonderful.

The training gave me a good understanding of how the business works and the support has carried on through the following months with support calls with our Franchise Support Manager. There is also a franchise forum and dedicated Franchise Manager, who is always just a phone call away. The great support we get from ‘Creative Hub’ really makes a difference to how I feel about running my business – there are people there who really care about how I am getting on. I am so pleased I made the decision to run my very own Creation Station franchise, as I love it and I’ve even discovered strengths I never knew I had. I have big plans for the future, including growing my sessions, parties and events and continuing to support and inspire families across my area.

s as a guide to help identify the type of opportunity that would work best for me.

As a volunteer in Brownies and Guides I’ve always loved running activities and working with children. So this seemed like a good place to start! I explored a number of franchise options that would enable me to maintain my own personal values and fit within myfamily commitments.

I came across ‘The Creation Station’ online and it immediately jumped right out at me. I couldn’t quite believe that it would really be possible to run a business doing what I love! I could also bring my daughter along to the classes too and have much more time with her. This all added up to reduced childcare costs, more time with my daughter doing something I loved with lots of great support. It just seemed to have my name written all over it.

My life now has all the things I want, believe in and value. I absolutely love running my own award winning Creation Station franchise. By investing in a brand I believe in and investing in myself, I have been able to make a lifestyle choice that ticks all the boxes for my family’s future. Our Founder, Sarah Cressall is a pure inspiration as she is committed to building strong working relationships within the network and and the whole of the Creative Hub are just as dedicated and passionate about each individual franchiseOwner’s business. This has really helped me to maximise potential opportunities, develop personally andto achieve a wonderful balance.

The main difference is the size of the territory that your business operates in. This way you can invest in a franchise that suits your budget as well as your lifestyle. Your initial investment includes enough equipment, merchandise, stock and materials to last over 3 months trading and many franchisees order more in their first couple of months because of increased demand from their customers which of course means improved profit for them. At Head Office we continue to support you and your business and the monthly license fee is £100 + VAT per month for The Creation Station only and £200 per month for the Creation Station plus Create Club and this increases each year by 7%. Our franchisees happily comment on how much on-going support they receive through the franchise forum, events, help-line and by being part of the UK’s leading children’s creative activity business.
