Helping nurseries to fly

Personalised support to overcome challenges and grow your nursery business.

Having successfully founded and expanded an ‘Outstanding’
Ofsted-rated nursery
, I understand the challenges and opportunities that come with building a thriving early years business.

With a proven track record of transforming nurseries into efficient and effective operations, I offer personalised consulting services that balance business success with exceptional early years education.

Whether you’re setting up, growing, or optimising your nursery, my holistic approach ensures you stay focused on what matters most – children, families, and staff.

Thrive Nursery Business Programme

Jane’s Thrive Programme focuses on the eight spokes, or Business Pillars, of her Nursery Business Success Wheel.  With monthly 3 hour sessions the programme is a great way to learn more about and get on top of your business.  The Thrive Programme is limited to a small number of members in each cohort to ensure personalised attention and maximum value for each participant.

“Jane has provided a safe space which has allowed us to build trust within the group, open up and support each other in a confidential environment, through what will inevitably be, a changing nursery business landscape in the not-too-distant future.”

1-2-1 Coaching

Benefit from expert mentoring and coaching designed to help you navigate the challenges of running a nursery. My personalized approach ensures you receive the guidance you need to achieve your business goals.

Business Audits

An initial business audit to analyse your key figures looking at occupancy, income and outgoings, and break-even, and your current operating model.

Power Hour

An ad-hoc, one off hour’s Teams call to ask Jane’s advice on a specific issue or focus, effectively one hour of ‘picking Jane’s brain’ and receiving support and advice.
