The chain’s 40-place out-of-school club will also be expanded, with extra places offered to children from a second nearby school in the New Year.
Co-owner Paul Ingram, who set up the Coventry chain with his wife, Michelle, said that he felt the tenth birthday was an appropriate moment to develop the business.

Her husband, a former programme manager for Rolls Royce, joined the business after three years.
