Thrive is an online 3 hour monthly support and development programme delivered over 8 months which covers many aspects of leading a successful nursery business.  Each cohort has a small group of Nursery Owners so it allows for Nursery Owners to share and support each other and set actionable targets, a little bit like an online Nursery Mastermind, but with teaching too.  The programme also includes two individual coaching sessions with Jane and a whatsapp support group. Contact Jane to book your place on the next cohort or for a free discovery call to see if this programme is for you. 

Carried our remotely, there is an initial zoom call to gather contextual information, followed by analysis of monthly running costs, staffing costs, room occupancy, pricing structure, fee model, turnover, projected occupancy and break even.
