Start Your Own Early Years Training Business with The Early Years Company Franchise

Start Your Own Early Years Training Business with The Early Years Company Franchise

If you’re looking to take the next step in your early years career, franchise opportunities in early education could offer the flexibility, fulfilment, and impact you’ve been searching for.

Why Now Is the Time to Step into Early Years Company Leadership

Most early years professionals start with passion, a drive to make a real difference for children and families. Over time, that passion often evolves into a desire to lead: not just by managing a team, but by sharing knowledge, supporting others, and improving practice across the sector.

But leadership doesn’t always mean running a nursery. It can also mean:

  • Coaching early years practitioners and managers
  • Delivering training that raises quality
  • Supporting curriculum development and reflective practice
  • Helping teams deliver better outcomes for children

The early years landscape is changing rapidly. Now, more than ever, experienced professionals are needed to lead from the front — and from the field.

Redefining Leadership in Early Years Education

At The Early Years Company (TEYC), we believe that leadership isn’t about hierarchy, it’s about impact.

Whether you’re a room leader, nursery manager, or senior educator, your years of experience are valuable beyond your current setting. You’ve developed skills that can inspire others, drive improvement, and transform early years provision.

Leadership should be values-led, not paperwork-led. It should offer flexibility, fulfilment, and financial reward — without burning you out.

That’s why many experienced professionals are stepping into roles as early years trainers, coaches, and consultants. These roles allow you to:

  • Share your expertise with multiple settings
  • Lead quality improvement at scale
  • Choose how and when you work
  • Build a meaningful, purpose-driven career
