The overall effectiveness was rated as good, with high expectations for all children and an interesting curriculum. A strong focus on language development and effective pandemic adaptations were praised. The environment was found to be safe and secure, with effective safeguarding measures in place.

Brilliant Nanny

4 stars

Mel covered our nanny’s maternity leave and was absolutely amazing, my two boys absolutely loved her and her daughter, and quickly formed a great bond.

Mel is professional, calm, responsive and above all fun childcare provider. Our eldest son had additional medical needs which Mel had to be trained on but this didn’t phase her at all and she quickly took everything on board which was a massive reassurance to us all. Mel is very focused on nurturing the children through play and she remains the boys first choice of a babysitter.

I couldn’t recommend Mel more highly.

Mel is AMAZING

5 stars

From the moment my children met Mel, they instantly fell in love with her. Mel is such a warm and caring person that it's hard for anyone who meets not to feel the same. When Mel was looking after my children, my little boy had just turned 1 and my daughter was at Pre-School. Mel also had her own little girl with her who became like another sibling to them. Mel never ever put one child before the other, they were all treated as equal. Both my children thrived in the year they were with Mel. Mel actively spent time educating them and ensuring they hit key milestones but also gave them all the love and attention they needed to grow as little people. It was only because I managed to change my job to part-time hours to accommodate school hours that we said goodbye to Mel. Mel had literally become so much part of the family, that although we lost a Nanny we knew we had gained a friend for life. I literally can't recommend Mel more highly as a childminder.
