Childcare entrepreneur and founder of Harmony at Home Ltd, Frankie Gray, has celebrated the premium nanny consultancy’s 75 per cent growth over the last 12 months by launching her latest venture – a children’s eco-boutique.

The first of 10 eco-boutiques planned to open throughout the UK over the next two years is situated in Ardingly, West Sussex. It aims to provide a platform for emerging designers and producers throughout the UK to exhibit their eco-friendly products including toys, clothes and arts and crafts.

The boutique will complement Harmony at Home Ltd, the international nanny consultancy that includes a recruitment agency, sleep clinics, pregnancy pampering sessions and a home and garden safety check service.

On the launch of the boutique division, Frankie comments: “Harmony at Home is now globally recognised for its comprehensive approach to childcare and the boutique represents yet another string to the company’s bow. As sustainability becomes an important factor in parents’ purchasing decisions, it is essential that there are enough choices made available to them and the boutique goes some way to address that. We’re excited about the new venture and look forward to rolling out the boutiques across the UK.”

Launched as a home-based nanny consultancy in 2004, Harmony at Home Ltd is now a national nanny franchise comprising 20 branches throughout the UK including Sussex, Surrey, London, Hampshire, Oxford, Cheshire and Lancashire.

Mrs Liz Hunt, Principal at Norland College, adds: “A Norland College graduate, Frankie not only illustrates how commercially astute she is but how dynamic the childcare industry has become. Sustainability now plays a key role in the choices parents make and Frankie has demonstrated her understanding of this in her exciting new venture.”

Harmony At Home Children’s Boutique is a magical toy store in the heart of the Sussex Village of Ardingly. It is one of a kind, specialising in contemporary designs for children’s accessories.

The idea came about when the Director and founder of Harmony At Home Ltd, Frankie Gray, struggled to find a unique sustainable gift for a children’s birthday party. As a result, the eco-boutique showcases exclusive sustainable products sourced from a range of premium suppliers.

The boutique is open from 9am – 4pm Monday to Saturday and by appointment.

Facilities include:
