My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Frankie and I am 46 and live in Patchway, Bristol and am mum to a beautiful girl aged 13 years old. I have been a registered childminder with Ofsted for just over 15 years and hold a current paediatric first aid certificate, that also includes training on the use of epi pens, as well as a clear current DBS check. I also regularly attend courses provided by the local authority to ensure I maintain the required knowledge and experience within the field of childcare. I am also a member of PACEY (Professional Association of Childcarers in Early Years)
Myself and my assistant, Faith, provide care for babies/children in a happy and friendly home and have access to a number of local groups including toddler groups, reading groups and music play, and have a wide range of equipment at home for children of all ages, that helps the child to learn and develop whilst also having fun.
My home is a child friendly environment with the whole groundhog floor area used for childminding, including a comfortable living room/play area, a downstairs bathroom, kitchen as well as a large fully enclosed garden area. My home is situated next to a large park and play area as well as being near to other facilities such as the local library, as well a number of local schools and playgroups.
I offer competitive hourly rates and flexible hours of care, both part-time and full-time hours, starting from 7:30am until 4:30pm Monday to Thursday and 7:30 until 3:30pm on a Friday.
Please contact me for further details regarding my current vacancies and to discuss details of childcare costs to reflect the care required.

Frankie provides an excellent childcare. She always greets us with a smile when we get to her house. I have peace of mind knowing my little girl is in good hands while i am at work and to be honest, nothing compares to that.
She's got a lot of toys that children can play with, suitable for their age which helps their verbal and mental development. I like that my little girl interacts there with children of different ages. Frankie encourages and praises the children when they do something good but also teaches them what is appropriate and what is not. She does so many activities with the children: from singing to playing, to being out in the graden or park and the list can go on and on...
She's open, flexible...all in all, a lovely person. I would advise any parent looking for childcare to choose her. She's absolutely brilliant in what she does and i often tell her that she's got the best job in the whole world.
