Registered Childminder Job In Salford
About Me
We are 2 teachers living in Salford, we have a baby son and a little dog. As a family we enjoy the outdoors and love going to our local park most days, as well as bigger adventures to beaches and the countryside in school holidays and at the weekend.
My Requirements
We are currently looking for childcare for when I go back to work next Easter when our son will be 10/11 months old.
Since we’re both teachers education is important to us, but it’s even more important that our little boy is somewhere he is happy!
We don’t currently know how many days we’re looking for, but definitely term time only and somewhere between 2 - 4 days.

Our little boy has been with Fran since he was one. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him. Leaving him with Fran feels like leaving him with a family member and Fran treats all of the children in her care like members of her extended family.
Fran focuses on the important things - the children go outside, they play, they learn independence, they bake, create, draw, build dens, read stories, socialise, they sit together and eat their meals at a table. Fran is loving, caring, dedicated and nurturing, and balances this well with clear boundaries, supporting the children to learn how to behave.
Fran is also amazing with parents. Fran is flexible and reliable and her communication is excellent. She has been patient and kind and a support system for us too - as first time parents she has been amazing when we’ve needed advice about potty training etc.
Fran has had a profound and remarkable positive impact on the toddler we dropped off at her house for his first day at “Nanny Franny’s”. She has walked alongside him every step of the way, helping him to develop into a strong, confident, and kind little boy who is absolutely ready to take his next step in to Primary School. For that, we will be forever grateful and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to look after your child.
