We have known Mel as both nanny and as a childcare provider for our twins since finishing maternity when they were just 9 months old.
She is very caring towards the children, and quickly bonded with them which reassured us at quite a scary time.

Mel is great at taking the kids out on daily adventures, whether it be local playgroups, the park, aquarium or playdates, but is also great at recognising if the kids need a home day and has a house full of kids activities for learning , role play and general child led play. She is also great at updating us with photos and stories of what they have been up to across the day.

Both my children are happy in her company, and she has been very helpful with providing care when we have been really stuck.

Both kids look forward to a day at Mel's house, and love their time with her and the other kids in her care. They love Mel's children and their interactions with them .

I appreciate Mel's open approach and her personalised approach to the children in her care. I would certainly be happy to recommend her, and leave my own children in her care with great confidence.
