I had a dream 6 years ago of running my own business providing pamper parties for children. A dream that I started whilst on maternity leave with my daughter.
I never ever imagined that one day it would become my full time job and grow into a huge success.
I am extremely grateful and proud of everything I have achieved with Coco Kids, a business I built from nothing through hard work and determination. It's been such a big part of my life but It hasn't been the easiest road, there's been lots of tears, sleepless nights and let's not forget a global pandemic and a cost of living crisis to compete with!.
I can still remember leafleting every estate in Consett while pushing my daughter in her pushchair and I can remember the overwhelming, exciting feeling I got when I took my first ever party booking. It was all I ever wanted to do and I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else, until now.
All my efforts and hard work have come with many sacrifices. I've worked every weekend for the past 6 years which has meant I've missed out on alot of quality time with my family, especially my little girl. Those of you who are parents will know how true the saying is "they are only little once".
A few weeks ago I was offered the opportunity of a full time job to train to become a teaching assistant and after alot of thought and consideration, I accepted.
Although this wasn't part of my plans, an opportunity like this doesn't come along very often and I've made the difficult decision to close the salon and take a significant step back from all things Coco Kids.
I can't put into words how incredibly grateful I am to each and every one of my customers for your continued support over the past 6 years, without you I wouldn't be where I am today. π©·
I have had the pleasure of hosting numerous parties for some amazing children and I've made memories I'll never forget!
Those of you who know me well will know that I am incredibly passionate about working with children and to be able to support children in an educational setting is something I just couldn't say no too.
Going forward, I'll be limiting the number of party bookings I take per month to give me more time on weekends with my family. (Please note all bookings will now be mobile)
I've met so many wonderful customers (and their children) a few who I can now call friends π₯°
Thank you all so much for an incredible 6 years ππ©΅
