The demand for children’s activities continues to grow as many parents and carers don’t have the knowledge and confidence to provide language learning activities at home. With foreign languages now compulsory in English primary schools and soon to follow in Scotland and Wales, more and more parents will want to give their children a head start.

Lingotot introduces youngsters to a new language through a unique combination of song, movement, stories, drama and play and is closely aligned to the Early Years Foundation Stage (E.Y.F.S.), the New National Curriculum, the Curriculum for Excellence and the Welsh curriculum.

We are the only UK children’s language franchise to offer Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Welsh, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish to children aged 0-11.

language education in young children.

smile a lot? Do you enjoy spending time with children? Do people generally like

and trust you?

HardworkingDo you have the drive to be successful? We look for people who understand that they will need to work hard and can think

on their feet.

difficult situations? When things get tough, our franchisees are resilient, but always smiley and

professional.

“I love being part of the Lingotot family. I started as a tutor then I couldn’t help myself but to buy not 1 but 2 territories to form Lingotot Bexley. I love my job as a Lingotot franchisee as I can make my own

destiny, choose my hours, choose schools and nurseries and areas I want to target and take real ownership of my career. HQ has been hugely supportive to me since the start, and it’s great to know

that our lesson plans are all written by Angela, a world class teacher in her own right.”

“I absolutely love being a Lingotot franchisee, I get so much support and love from other franchisees and HQ, nothing is ever too much trouble! I am working in schools and running successful clubs and sessions at nurseries and after school. This is my full time career now and I wouldn’t do anything else. I was named finalist at 2 awards (one national) within my first year and I couldn’t have done any of this without the support of the whole HQ team and other franchisees.”
