Why We Love Collaborating With Other Independent Businesses
One of the things we value most at Jump Start Maths is community.
Not just the community in our classes, families, children and parents learning together, but the wider network of independent businesses who are all working hard to support families in our local area.
Running a small business can feel lonely at times. Collaborating with others changes that. It brings energy, ideas and encouragement, and it helps everyone grow in a more sustainable, supportive way.
Supporting Independent, Local Businesses Matters
Independent businesses are often built from passion, lived experience and a genuine desire to make a difference.
They:
understand their communities
care deeply about the people they serve
adapt quickly to real needs
put heart into what they do
When we support one another, we create something stronger than we ever could alone.
For families, this matters too, because trusted local businesses are often the first place parents turn for guidance, reassurance and support.
Learning, Connecting and Growing Together
We actively seek out opportunities to learn from and connect with other business owners.
Recently, we:
joined The Mums Who Business community
partnered with Where the Little Ones Play to offer an exclusive price for families who visit after our class on Tuesdays
hosted exclusive discounts and meet ups for The Mums Who Meet
champion and share the work of friends and fellow independents
Collaboration Over Competition
We firmly believe that collaboration beats competition.
Supporting another business doesn’t take away from your own — it strengthens the whole ecosystem. When parents trust one local business, they’re more likely to trust others too.
That’s why we’re always happy to:
share recommendations
celebrate others’ successes
collaborate on events or ideas
signpost families to services we trust
For parents, this means clearer signposting and confidence that recommendations come from real relationships, not paid promotions.
Looking Ahead
As Jump Start Maths grows, collaboration will remain central to what we do.
We’re always open to:
working alongside other independent businesses
supporting community-led initiatives
finding meaningful ways to connect families with great local services
If you’re an independent business who shares similar values, we’d love to connect.
A Community-Led Approach to Early Learning
At Jump Start Maths, supporting children’s learning goes hand-in-hand with supporting the communities they grow up in.
Because when communities thrive, families feel supported — and children benefit most of all.
