“We want to Delight, Retain, Attract” The story begins in 2007, when Antonia arrived in France looking for activities where her young family could make friends. These were on every street corner in England, but not yet in France and Facebook hadn’t yet been invented!Other than a small little mum and baby group and a little baby dance class neither of which exist anymore there was no way to easily meet new parents and babies.So Antonia started her research, having already co founded a successful Au Pair agency while in the UK, the entrepreneurship route was open to her.In 2007 she threw open the doors of KidooLand now nicknamed the little English school by her clients. They have now welcomed over 6,000 families.She is also creator of the Facebook group Cote D’Azur Living and host of the Riviera Firefly Podcast.In 2021 she will Chair the Riviera Business Club jury as they select the 2021 Business Person of the Year Awards.
