Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences. I’m Kevin Brent and this week on the show

I’m thrilled to be joined by Claire Munday, the mastermind behind Tappy Toes, a children's dance and movement franchise. Over two decades, Tappy Toes has evolved from Claire's passion project to a thriving franchise with 30 locations across the UK and a recent launch in Dubai.

Claire's success recipe? Exceptional franchisee support, fuelled by regular check-ins, comprehensive training, and the magic of Facebook ads, boasting a £23 cost per lead.

In our chat, we explore Tappy Toes' early days, the transition to franchising, and the unexpected growth during the COVID era. Claire's hands-on approach to franchisee management and her global vision for Tappy Toes add extra flair to this engaging conversation.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
