My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Frankie and I’m a passionate and caring childminder dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and homely environment where children feel happy, confident, and free to be themselves. I will be opening in September 2025 once ofsted have approved my registration.
I follow a child-led approach, encouraging little ones to explore their interests through open-ended play, creativity, and outdoor adventures. We spend plenty of time outside—whether it’s in the garden, local parks, or nature walks—helping children connect with the world around them and build a lifelong love of the outdoors.
As part of my commitment to being more eco-friendly, I use sustainable resources wherever possible and promote kindness to the planet in everyday routines. I also provide nutritious, home-cooked meals made with organic ingredients, supporting healthy habits from an early age.
Every child in my care is treated with warmth, patience, and respect. I strive to create a space where they feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are.
Please feel free to get in touch—I’d love to hear more about what you’re looking for in a childminder

Our daughter absolutely loved her time while in Frankie's care. Always warm and friendly, Frankie offers a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children. Each day would include creative fun activities both inside and outside and I was kept informed with daily photo updates. The meals are nutritious and varied and catered to the child's needs. Frankie is a kind, professional and attentive childminder who my daughter built a really strong bond and positive relationship with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

I cannot speak highly enough of Frankie, who cared for my son for over two years before he started school. Frankie is very passionate about early years learning and very clearly loves working with children. She has a natural affinity and is imaginative and extremely creative with the activities for the children, always educational and always great fun. She really takes the time to get to know the children she cares for, to know their likes and dislikes to bring out the best in them. My son adores her.

We cannot speak highly enough of Frankie and the incredible care she provides. From the moment we met her, it was clear she was someone who genuinely loves what she does and takes great pride in nurturing the children she looks after.
She is exceptionally attentive, always tuned in to the children’s needs, and creates a warm, safe, and engaging environment where little ones can thrive. Her calm, kind, and patient nature is something truly special — it sets the tone for everything she does and brings so much reassurance to us as parents.
What really sets her apart is the thought and creativity she puts into every day. Activities are always age-appropriate, fun, and stimulating, and she makes learning part of play in such a natural, joyful way. On top of that, her strong knowledge of nutrition is a real bonus — she provides healthy, balanced meals and snacks, and supports positive eating habits with such care and attention.
Our children have blossomed in her care, growing in confidence, curiosity, and independence. It’s incredibly reassuring to know our little ones are in such capable and loving hands.
Finding someone like Frankie is rare — her service is truly outstanding, and we’re so grateful to have her support. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

Frankie amazed us everyday with her incredibly creative use of resources to make fun, exciting and educational activities and always explained how her activities linked to different areas of the early years curriculum and how they could support various areas of development. We always had immense trust and confidence in Frankie and her ability to care for our daughter and keep her safe. Frankie even went over and above to support the social wellbeing of the children at the setting, carving out a community for them by organising events and get togethers. We couldn't recommend her strongly enough.
