Farah Wahed, franchisee of the North Finchley branch, said:

“I’d attended the classes with my own children and so I had firsthand experience of the benefits of the Creation Station approach on nurturing my children’s imagination and potential.

“I reached a point in my career where I wanted to have more control over my working week so I could prioritise time with my children and at the same time build a business was that mine. The Creation Station has so much scope I know I have the potential and support to build my business at a rate that suits me and my family.”
