Other child-related business ideas
There are a number of other opportunities that you may wish to consider, including:
Children?s day nursery ? provides continuous care for more than four hours, for children aged between three months and five years. The demand is high for day nurseries, but the start-up process can be quite lengthy.
Playgroup ? provides sessional daycare for the under-fives. Many are not-for-profit, but there are some privately-owned businesses.
Out-of-school and holiday club ? provides care for children before or after school or during holidays. A minority of clubs are run as privately-owned businesses.
Children?s indoor play area ? provides a safe yet fun environment where children can play, and often a coffee shop for the parents to relax. Both the set up costs and time commitment involved can be high.
Children?s entertainer ? performs a variety of acts for children (e.g. magic tricks, puppetry, juggling, clowning, face painting) usually at parties. Entertainers are often required on weekends or during holidays, but it can be hard work establishing yourself.
Home nappy service ? delivers supplies of cotton, cloth or terrycloth nappies, liners and over-pants to parents. You will need a vehicle to transport the dirty and clean nappies and access to washing machines and tumble driers.
