Mel looked cared for my 6 year old daughter full time from the age of 2 till she was 4. Leah was treated like a member of the family from day one and has formed a treasured lasting relationship with Mel and her lovely family. Happily, Leah's brother Zac is now part of the brook's clan and loves being there as much as his sister did! Leah still goes to Mel's house on the holidays - a highlight for her! I cannot recommend Mel highly enough and credit her with helping our precious children grow into polite bright and friendly children.
