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).
