Friendly Childminders' Hub
Launching on Sunday 1st February 2026 at 10am!
Sam's Kitchen
Kettle's On -
What's Happening?
The Collection Sam's Kitchen sits at the heart of the Hub - a welcoming spot where members are free to drop by anytime they please.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
It features four fabulous spaces, with the main one being 'Kettle’s On – What’s Happening!' - a cosy corner perfect for grabbing a quick cuppa or settling in for a longer chat to find out what is happening in the childminding community.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
This is a Space that the founder will contribute to regularly by highlighting what's going on across the Hub's Collections through 'Spotlight On' posts, checking in with everyone and providing members with reminders of how fabulous they are! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Kettle's On is a great space to pop into when members get five minutes here and there, or maybe a bit longer when they accomplish the ultimate achievement of a synchronised nap time! ​​​​

Hub's Coffee Shop
The Collection Sam's Kitchen sits at the heart of the Hub - a welcoming spot where members are free to drop by anytime they please.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
It features four fabulous spaces, with the Hub's Coffee Shop being a great Space for general conversation, where members chat about their work and home lives. This is best likened to a Facebook group, but but it's only accessible to Hub members and its capabilities go well beyond the confines of social media! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
This is a Space that will mainly be for members, but the founder will pop in when they can!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Read All About It
The Collection Sam's Kitchen sits at the heart of the Hub - a welcoming spot where members are free to drop by anytime they please.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
It features four fabulous spaces, with Read All About It bringing members the latest news from the world of childminding, early years and the childcare sector! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
The founder has daily alerts set up for lots of childminding, childcare and early years sector 'buzz words'. They also trawls for the latest information from the government websites and relevant organisations to keep members up to date with what's going on in the childcare sector and beyond! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Tech Help
The Collection Sam's Kitchen sits at the heart of the Hub - a welcoming spot where members are free to drop by anytime they please.​​​​
It features four fabulous spaces, with Tech Help being a cheeky add on so all members are reassured that help is hand should they need it. ​​​​​​
Mighty Networks was specifically chosen because it's simple and intuitive to use, but at the same time the founder makes no assumptions about anyone's ability when it comes to using technology. Therefore, they knew it was important to include a handy space where members can get tech support. To find out more about Mighty Networks, please have a nosey here. ​​​
