First and foremost, Music Bus is baby and toddler music sessions for parents and young children. We’ve been running fun filled local classes across the UK for 22 years!
Nursery Classes, Parties and Events
At Music Bus we don’t just run regular weekly term time classes and holiday sessions. We’ll also bring the fun to your birthday party, nursery or event
Music Bus At Home™
We learned a lot during lockdown which is why we developed Music Bus At Home™ to make sure the fun never stops for our families and to give our franchisees an extra income stream. When you can’t get to Music Bus, Music Bus comes to you with our exclusive “at home” online programme.

FAQs
Do I need qualifications or experience?
You’ll receive fully comprehensive training and don’t need any musical qualifications or previous experience. You just need to be able to sing in tune! As children attending will be accompanied by a parent you don’t need any childcare experience either.
Your Own Exclusive Area
As a Music Bus licensee you’ll benefit from a larger than average area in which to run your local baby and toddler music classes. It’s also EXCLUSIVE to you which means no one else can offer classes in YOUR area.
Comprehensive Training
The initial training delivered by our founder, Helen, and her team is scheduled over several days and delivered live, not prerecorded, and is fully comprehensive. The carefully tailored training gets you quickly up and running and ready to open your very first classes. Step by step, you’ll be guided through everything you need to know from setting up your business, learning how to deliver sessions, marketing, running your business, and everything to build a successful and rewarding business.
Full Ongoing Support
Once you’re up and running, you’re given full ongoing support essential for your success. Rest assured you have an experienced team ready to answer your questions and guide you forward as you develop and build your classes. You’ll also join the Franchisee Facebook forum where you’ll join our other franchisees in a friendly and welcoming group and enjoy peer support.
Marketing and Admin Tools
We’ll provide you with all the information, templates and tools you need to set up and run your Music Bus business, including marketing templates and resources, health and safety, child protection policies, your own email address and webspace, artwork, low cost group rates for insurance, an online booking system and a whole lot more!
12 Month Franchise Agreement
We understand life can change and you can’t predict what you’ll be doing in 5 years time, that’s why we’ve made the Music Bus Franchise available on a 1 year automatically renewable license. This way you can try it out before you renew for the next year. The initial Franchise fee is only payable once at the outset of your first year. After that you’ll just pay a small renewal fee each year, currently set at £180
Are there any other streams of income?
As well as Parent and Child classes, our franchisees provide regular weekly Nursery classes and Parties. Childminders, community groups, Care Homes and private organisations such as the NCT host our classes, as well as festivals, community, and other events. You can also build your online classes with Music Bus At Home™
How soon can I start classes?
Once you’ve completed your training and secured a venue (we’ll help you with this) you could be up and running with your very first classes open in a matter of weeks.
How much does it cost?
We believe in giving as many people as possible the opportunity to start their own flexible business and that’s why we’ve made the Music Bus Franchise affordable.
A one off cost of £4,995, you can own your successful, rewarding, fun business and lead life on your terms. With a low, fixed monthly management fee of just £140 (considerably less than a percentage of turnover many other companies charge) you get to keep much more of your monthly income, and aren’t penalised for doing well. This also means you can budget ahead and know your costs at the outset.
Please ask about our flexible payment options to help spread the cost.
