We’re a warm, welcoming childminder setting based in the heart of Wheathampstead. Kinderling is a place where children can feel safe, happy, and completely themselves.
We’re here to offer the very best care for your child and support for your family. We love helping children explore, play, and grow in their own unique way — sparking their natural curiosity and creativity every day. Most of all, we want every child to feel valued, loved, and confident to thrive.
Our days are filled with adventure, fresh air, and hands-on learning. We spend plenty of time outdoors — whether it’s tending to our allotment, caring for our friendly chickens, heading out on nature walks, cycling through the countryside, or exploring local woodlands. Children have the chance to grow their own food, cook with fresh ingredients, and experience the natural world up close. There’s a lovely balance of calm routines and exciting, child-led exploration — giving children the freedom to play, discover, and enjoy each day to the fullest.
We’re Bobby and Olivia Federici — a husband and wife team, and proud parents to three wonderful boys. As a family, we’ve poured our hearts into creating Kinderling: a warm, welcoming space where children can feel at home.
We love building a magical environment where children can play, explore, and make memories they’ll treasure for a lifetime. Everything we do is rooted in genuine care, hands-on experiences, and the joy of childhood.
The heart of Kinderling is our beautiful garden and cosy log cabin — a space where your child can truly feel at home. Surrounded by nature, it’s a place to explore, play, and grow in a calm, welcoming environment.
For us, the outdoors isn’t just part of the day — it’s where some of the best learning happens. We spend time outside every day, whether we’re tending to our allotment, playing at local parks, caring for our chickens, or exploring nearby woodlands. The world around us is our classroom, full of real-life experiences and daily adventures that children love.
If you would like to arrange a tour of our setting, or have any questions about our availability, admissions or anything else, feel free to send us a message. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
