LITTLE DREAMS CONSULTING

After having two children, I realised I wasn’t in love with being a solicitor anymore. For 12 years I had been qualified, specialising in childcare law, and a member of the children panel but I fell out of love with it. It was a huge change but I trained as a sleep consultant while pregnant with my daughter (my third child) in 2016, and launched Little Dreams soon after. I felt there was a huge need for sleep but a lack of evidenced based information, which is one of our passions. Fay joined the team in January 2018 and our team doubled since then, due to the increasing need for sleep!

We launched our franchise in December 2021 and, currently, we have four franchisees. Plus we have Bristol as a territory and we have lots of exciting announcements to make in the coming months. We cover most of the south west, Chelmsford, Colchester and Birmingham too!

Seeing our franchisees, and the business, thrive and becoming an award winning – in 2023 we won, among others, the EWIF New Franchisor of the Year Award, BFA accredited franchise, with happy franchisees, is an incredible feeling. But the proudest achievements have to be the life changing work we do with families! Often parents are at breaking point when they contact us and are seeking help for mental health issues or are feeling they can’t go on. Allowing families to start thriving, rather than barely surviving, is the reason we do what we do and the feedback we get really does make this the best job in the world!

We are looking for franchisees who are incredibly empathetic and have impeccable communication skills and attention to detail. They will need to be driven, resilient and highly motivated but also looking to work as part of a fabulous team. They don’t need to have any previous knowledge or experience in sleep as we will teach them everything they need to know.

Our franchise is incredibly competitively priced and we have options available from just £8,000 all in, with an 11% MSF.

This provides you with everything you could need to start your business and become a sleep consultant, all the training, mentoring and expert advice to allow you to succeed and thrive!

The main benefit of our franchise, other than being able to do the best job in the world, is that the hours are totally flexible! You can work around your family or caring commitments as you will manage your own diary and decide when you have availability for consults. We are looking for people to work on a mostly full time basis, although part time franchises are available, but you can work evenings and/or weekends (or not) the choice is totally down to the individual franchisee.

We provide all the training, support and mentoring that franchisees will need. Initially there is a 3 ½ day training to cover everything you need to know about sleep and how to run a successful business. There is also experts training from external experts on GDPR, social media, SEO, a lactation consultant and even Professor Michael Gradisar, all included in the training package fee.

We then provide an intensive mentoring and support package, especially in the first year, with daily access to the founders (yes, really) 1-1s, roundtables and weekly extra training together with access to our bespoke systems and your own website which you can update with your own blogs and testimonials. Everything you will need to succeed and thrive is included.

We hold a yearly conference with industry updates, expert speakers and lots of opportunities to catch up with fellow franchisees, which we are told all franchisees love!
