Empowering the Next Generation Through Technology Education

As a leading independent supplier of computing education to primary schools throughout the UK, Jam Coding delivers engaging, curriculum-focused coding and technology workshops for young children.

From Parent to Franchise Owner: One Decision That Changed Everything!

February 18, 2026

Matt Davies didn’t become a Jam Coding franchise owner because of spreadsheets or growth forecasts. He did it because of his son.

As an educator and a parent to a neurodivergent child with autism and ADHD, Matt saw first-hand how hard it can be for children to find clubs where they truly feel comfortable. Traditional activities often come with pressure, noise and constant scrutiny - environments that simply don’t work for every child.

Matt began asking a simple question: “what would a club look like if it was designed for children like my son?”

That question led him to Jam Coding.

Through his background in education and entrepreneurship, Matt had already been thinking deeply about the future. He wanted children to develop confidence, problem-solving and independence -skills that matter whatever path they take. He also knew many families were facing the same challenges he was.

Jam Coding stood out immediately. Neurodivergent children often thrive in digital environments, where they can focus, feel in control and learn at their own pace. Using platforms like Minecraft Education, Jam Coding channels that passion into structured, inclusive sessions that build real-life skills, without pressure or judgement.

It felt right.

Matt launched Jam Coding Derby & Loughborough in 2025, starting hands-on and delivering sessions himself. Demand grew fast. One after-school club quickly became several, followed by weekend clubs, community sessions and birthday parties.

Today, Matt works with multiple schools, community organisations and is preparing to deliver funded holiday clubs for children who need them most. His business has grown, his team has expanded, and his impact continues to widen — all while staying rooted in his local community!

Now focusing on partnerships and growth, Matt’s journey shows how Jam Coding franchise owners can evolve from coach to business owner without losing sight of their purpose.

If you’re looking to build something meaningful in your area, Jam Coding could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Rosanna, Jam Coding Franchisee

I became a Jam Coding franchise owner for very personal reasons. As an educator and a parent to a neurodivergent child, I’d seen how difficult it can be to find clubs that truly work for all children. Jam Coding immediately stood out as something different — inclusive, engaging, and focused on building real confidence and life skills.What I love most is how naturally children connect with the sessions. Jam Coding meets them where they are, using familiar digital environments to develop problem solving, creativity, and independence in a calm, supportive way. I’ve seen first hand how powerful that can be, not just for my own child, but for so many others in the community. From starting hands on to building a growing team, Jam Coding has allowed me to develop a business with genuine purpose. It’s flexible, supportive, and deeply rewarding — a chance to make a real difference while building something sustainable for the future.”

Matt, Jam Coding Franchisee

Running my Jam Coding franchise has been an incredibly positive experience. In just nine months, I’ve been able to build strong relationships with schools, grow a fantastic team, and expand quickly in a way that feels both sustainable and exciting. Seeing kids genuinely engaged and excited about coding every week is hugely rewarding. What really sets Jam Coding apart is the support. From the franchise team to the training and resources, I’ve always felt backed to grow with confidence. Regular team training and collaboration have helped us consistently deliver high quality sessions, and schools can really see the value in what we offer. Jam Coding has given me the opportunity to build a business that has real impact in the community, and I’m genuinely excited about what’s next.
