Our son has had the best start with Frances. Sending our son to Frances was the best decision we made. We contemplated a nursery too but I’m so pleased we chose a childminder, the nurseries were quite overwhelming and our son seemed so ‘little’ (at just 7 months old)! This was the perfect balance and the care has been second to none.

When we first went to meet Frances, in her beautiful home, she was warm, friendly and welcoming and more importantly she listened to what we needed. As a new mum I was so anxious to leave my child with anyone but I knew from meeting Frances that she would care for our son the way any of our family would.

For the next two years our son attended Frances’ house three days a week and he was incredibly happy each day. He met lots of amazing friends and every day he would be entertained and encouraged by Frances and her incredible team of assistants. Every evening when we collected him they had detailed his day in a lovely diary book that included pictures, songs and core learning as well as his art/craft work. His speech, social skills and his all round confidence soared during his time there. He went from being a baby to a confident little boy!

Frances and her team are the most caring, nurturing and attentive team we could have wished for. Our son misses them so much and so do we!
