A good name for a kids activity centre?

Re: A good name for a business

I looked into setting one up for my wife who has quite a number of years creche/teaching experience.

Checked out kiddies kingdom in kilkenny, quit impresssive.
Site we looked at would require 1000 kids per week to work, 400 per sat/sun, balance during the week

Was in kidzone on saturday and there were 2 kids in there and they were charging €3 per full day. Tough business Id imagine

Where are they charging €3 per day? Friend is saying its 9.50 per person everywhere??? parties start at 14.00 per person with minimum of 10 kids! She should hang up her coat and stay at home if its €3 :eek:

Very good point. Its not exactly the type of business that one would expect to prosper in a recession.

Btw, could the OP or one of the mods please change the name of this thread to reflect better the discussion? Thx.

My thread title is correct. I asked for a good name for a business. The discussion and posts have swayed in the process.... whch is typical in this place ;)
 
Re: A good name for a business

It's €8.00 per child per hour in Nenagh and I think €6.50 special for weekdays before 2 or something like that ( with a free coffee thrown in for parent). I havent been there that often but I was there once a couple of weeks ago on a weekday and there were only four other parents in the place with about 10 children maximum for the hour I was there. There were at least three staff working if not four. Difficult to see a profit there and I'd imagine insurance must be extortionate. Although of course weekends/mid terms and holidays would be extra busy. But if she is also facing competition?

I wasn't criticising your choice of thread title, honestly :) Its just that if the title was made a bit clearer (ie by using the words "kids play zone" or something), the thread might be found more easily if someone is searching for discussions on the topic at a later date. Isn't that one of the reasons for moderation :)

I think the nearest one is about 20 minutes by car.

I'd be using the wifi more for itouch, PSP, DS, occasional eee - that kind of thing, rather than full blown laptops.
 
Why not ask your target customers? With the co- operation of your local primary school you could have a name competition. Whoever comes up with the most suitable name wins a prize.
