Hackney franchisee and dad of two, Edouard finishes his Summer Holiday Camps on a high note in 2020

"Seeing children smiling, having fun and giving parents that well-earned breathing space meant so much!" said Edouard

Despite the unprecedented times we are living in, Hackney Holiday Camp franchisee and community hero Edouard reaped in the rewards of his hard work with a truly positive and profitable summer offering only the best in childcare and music.

Whilst working alongside government guidelines with a focus on keeping everyone safe at his Ofsted-registered Holiday Camp, Edouard welcomed many children of the local community for four weeks during the summer whilst earning a four-figure profit in just four weeks.

Edouard said: “As a dad myself, I was aware that childcare was almost non-existent and alongside the head office team, we felt passionate about getting our amazing Holiday Camps up and running. Seeing children smiling, having fun and giving parents that well-earned breathing space meant so much!”

The Strings Club Holiday Camps aimed to keep everyone safe by only offering bubbles of a maximum of 15 children per week – all of which were fully booked every week. Children, either newbies or returnees, were kept safe by the amazing childcare practitioners and string teachers – all of which had completed an in-depth COVID-19 training with Mini First Aid beforehand.

Founder of The Strings Club and mum, Amy affirmed: “It was a big task to get our Holiday Camps up and running in such a short space of time. But we are so proud of what we achieved and that’s keeping everyone safe, happy and inspired!”
