Mi Nurseries Franchise

Bring Mi Nurseries to your community

Open a nursery of your own, with a brand families already trust and an experienced team behind you every step of the way.

Why Mi

Built by people who run nurseries

Not a brand that sells nurseries. A group that runs them.

Proven in practice

Everything you are given is used in our own nurseries every day, from the rooms to the routines.

A name parents know

Families find us, review us and recommend us. You open with that reputation, not from nothing.

Values at the heart

A warm, values-led ethos that families choose us for. It is what makes a Mi nursery a Mi nursery.

Ready from day one

A curriculum, policies and systems that are tried and tested, so you are not starting from a blank page.

People behind you

A central team for quality, inclusion, training and marketing, always just a phone call away when you need them.

Room to grow

Open one nursery and run it well. When you are ready, talk to us about opening a second, and grow alongside the group.

The team behind you

Over 100 years of experience

Between us, across every part of running a nursery.

100+years of early years experience across our leadership and central team. We run our own nurseries, train our staff and support every child. Now we do the same for you.

Area managers

Senior leadership

A leadership team that meets regularly, sets the standards and is a phone call away when needed.

The Mi curriculum, policies and regular quality checks, so you are ready for Ofsted.

Inclusion

Support for your SENCO and families, from a first concern through to funding and plans.

Training

Safer recruitment, induction and apprenticeships to build and keep a strong team.

Efficiency

Systems, rotas, nursery software and reporting that keep costs and staffing in check.

Buying power

Suppliers, equipment and services at group prices a single nursery would not get alone.

Who we are looking for

Hands-on, experienced people

If this sounds like you, we would like to talk.

Experience

Two years or more running a nursery as a manager or deputy, or a partner who has. You know ratios, Ofsted and how to lead a team, and want to put it to work in a nursery of your own.

On the floor

Visible in your nursery and involved in the day to day, especially in the first year. Families get to know you by name, and your team sees you leading by example every day.

Shares our values

Warm, caring and serious about quality, for the children, their families and your staff. You want every child and every parent to feel the nursery is theirs.

Ready to invest, or to partner

Able to fund the start up, with or without finance. Or experienced and short of capital? We may be able to introduce you to an investor.

Ready to take the first step?

It takes about five minutes, and there is no commitment. We reply within five working days.
