How to Successfully Build & Grow a Children’s Activity Business

This month marks the 1 year anniversary of ICAP launching, which is a really proud moment and milestone for us.

In that time we’ve released multiple guides, reports and resources alongside some pretty great online events to support children’s activity providers primarily through the Covid-19 storm, but also to help focus on how best to develop your business in this sector. 

We’d like to thank you for engaging with what we are trying to do in the children’s activities sector and hope that in a small way we’ve been helpful on your business journey. We’ll continue to add value wherever we can over the coming years.

We wanted to spotlight a guide with some of our best tips to running a children’s activity business. We released this last year and in a short time has amassed over a thousand downloads. If you haven’t read the guide yet, or maybe you fancy a re-read you can download this here.

P.S. If you haven’t already become a member of ICAP, see what all the fuss is about here and join our fast growing community of providers today.

By becoming a member of ICAP you’re joining a community of like-minded professionals and business owners in the children’s activity sector working towards excellence
