Franchise & Consulting Services
Little Street is a multi award winning children’s leisure facility, operating since 2014. Leading the industry as the first to open a dedicated children’s role play centre in the UK, and with experience helping many franchisees open their own business, we believe we are in a unique position to share our knowledge and expertise to optimise your chance of success.
Our Sales figures reflect the vast popularity that we have achieved in a short time. Our reputation has grown, and due to high demand, Little Street began franchising in 2017. We now have seven Little Street venues, with further projects in the pipeline.
We offer both a full franchise package or consulting support to help you open your own role play centre.

Consulting Services:
If the franchise model isn’t suitable for you, but you still want expert guidance in opening a play centre, we’re here to help. We offer comprehensive consulting services across the Midlands, North England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and internationally, to support you in creating your own unique play venue.
Our services cover every aspect of launching your business, from developing a solid business plan and navigating the opening process to designing your play space and establishing operational systems. We also provide ongoing mentoring and support to give you the best chance of success every step of the way. Here’s what some of our clients say about working with us:
“After making the decision to go ahead with opening a role play centre I approached Hannah for a consultation. It was the best money I have spent in this process as she was able to talk me through the legalities, the practicalities as well as giving personal tips and hints. There was nothing that we went over in the initial consult that I didn’t use in practice and I could not recommend this service enough, it really was my ‘start up bible’. Even after the consultation I emailed Hannah when I was stuck with finding an insurance company and she was quick to reply and help. If you are considering opening up your own role play business, please get in touch with Hannah as it will be the best decision you make.” ~ Jackie, Little Play Town Heywood Ltd
“We have used Little Street Consultancy services in the process of deciding whether we would go ahead and build a roleplay venue for ourselves. We were very impressed by the professionalism and amount of information shared by both Hannah and Shay. They have been so helpful and are of course knowledgeable. Little Street was I think the first roleplay venue in the UK and their experience being (one of) the first is very valuable to us being the first in the Netherlands. No question is too much or complicated for them, they truly want to help you further. Definitely would recommend to other entrepreneurs in the industry. “ ~ Roxy Van De Noordt, Playhood, Amsterdam.
“We were delighted to make use of Little Street’s consultancy services in the very early stages of our business plan. As the pioneer of children’s role play centres in the UK, we were not surprised to find that Hannah is an absolute power house of passion and wisdom in this fascinating domain. She has armed us with an extensive toolbox of information and tried and tested ideas. Our conversation ensure that we are off to the best start possible through discussing the mitigation of potential risks and ideas for future-proofing our business. This has undoubtedly saved us both time and money in the long-run. Now armed with the invaluable insights from our initial conversation and the inspiring boost we received through speaking with Hannah, we feel well-equipped for the next stages of our journey. Now watch this space!” ~ Victoria and Anastasia”
