About Me

My name is Melanie and I am very excited to be a childminder. It is something I have thought about for a long time and I'm so glad I have taken the step!
I have a caring and positive nature and my enthusiasm helps to motivate children. I am passionate about encouraging children to spend time outdoors learning and playing.

My Experience

I have two teenage children and 25 years of teaching experience from Nursery to Year 6.

My Qualifications

I am a qualified teacher and Forest School Leader.

My Availability

I don't currently have any space due to current parents wanting to increase hours in September. If you are looking for a future place please message me about being added to my waiting list.

My Fees

  • Childminding from £7.50 per hour

I offer funded spaces for 9mths-4yrs, these are stretched over the whole year (not term time only). Outside of funding my fees are £7.50 per hour or £60 for a full day (8+hours, max 10). I take children for a minimum of six hours per day. There will also be a daily fee for food and occasional trips. (You have the option of providing food and the payment for trips is voluntary, although the trip will take place on a day your child doesn't attend if you choose not to pay).

My Local Schools

This childminder has not yet informed us whether or not they provide any drop off or pick up services at local schools.
