You might want to add some water filled containers (gallon milk jugs) for heat storage inside the cold frame and place them around any especially cold sensitive seedlings. Another way to improve nightly heat retention is to place vertical glazing on the southe side and have insulation with heat reflective foil (foamboard) on the inside of the roof covering. Those bean and tomato seedlings in your photo can't take any below freezing temps.
