There are four different classes tailored specifically to the needs of children between 18 months and eighth birthday. It’s the perfect way to ignite an enthusiasm for sport that will stay with them for life. Classes follow the Early Years Framework, so our sessions are not just about developing physical skills. We believe children learn better when they are having fun so our pre-school classes also focus heavily on important cognitive and social skills such as numeracy, colours, sharing and attention and listening. Children earn multiple achievement (skills) badges in every age group which they’ll love to show off to family and friends! Little Kickers Redditch and Bromsgrove is now under new management. After running and coaching sessions in Solihull for over 15years, we’re excited to be re-launching the program and bring new classes to the area.

Raring2go! OPPORTUNITY After 15 amazing years, I am now looking for a new owner to take over the Bromsgrove and Redditch edition of Raring2go! magazine; a thriving and well respected local business. During my years as Editor, I’ve enjoyed discovering new places to visit with my family, reviewing shows at the theatre, and trying out new activities with my two children. By working for myself, I have been lucky enough to be there for the daily school run, attend sports days and nativities, and take time off around the school holidays. As my children are now older I feel it’s time to hang my hat up and start a new chapter. I would love for another local, passionate parent to enjoy the same experiences I have. However, it is important for me to find the right person to Could you be the next Editor of Raring2go! Bromsgrove and Redditch? take care of my third ‘baby’, so I will continue to publish Raring2go! until I find that special person. While Raring2go! is a business where you work for yourself, you are part of a supportive franchise network, where there’s always someone on hand to give advice if you need it. No previous experience is necessary although an interest in the local community, an eye for detail and a tenacious attitude will certainly help. This business has been trading for over 15 years and is well established in the area as the number one family magazine, the purchase price is set at a very competitive asking price, which differs from a brand-new start up within the Raring2go! network. Have you ever dreamed of running your own business, making your own decisions and taking control of your working life to fit around the needs of your family? If you’re ready for a change in direction and have always dreamed of working for yourself, do get in touch with me for a chat! Call Lisa on 07989 110318 bromsgroveandredditch@raring2go.co.uk 31
