Little Street is an award winning children’s leisure facility, operating since 2014. Leading the industry as the first to open a dedicated children’s role play centre in the UK, and with experience helping many franchisees open their own business, we believe we are in a unique position to share our knowledge and expertise to optimise your chance of success.
Children and parents love our play centres, where every detail is designed to inspire; developed with input from Early Years Practitioners, we incorporate learning opportunities for children throughout; providing an educational, fun and safe play environment.
Our Sales figures reflect the vast popularity that we have achieved in a short time. Our reputation has grown, and due to high demand, Little Street began franchising in 2017. We now have six Little Street venues, with further projects in the pipeline.
We offer both a full franchise package or consulting support to help you open your own role play centre.
WHAT DO YOU GET AS A FRANCHISEE?
- Assistance on site selection, lease negotiation and location design
- Project management of premises and play centre fit out.
- Use of the Little Street trademarks
- Comprehensive operations manual

As franchisees own their franchised centre we believe they will have a vested interest in maintaining the high standards and reputation of Little Street and will benefit directly from their hard work as their business grows. Independent research shows that franchising is a very strong business model for franchisees, with the Natwest /British Franchise Association 2018 Franchise Landscaping survey, reporting that 93% of all UK franchisees are profitable.
Whilst the Little Street franchise model has been approved for funding by several banks, franchisees need a minimum of £25,000 personal investment.
