My 11 year old started with Mel when she was only 6 months old. She still loves going. My 2 year old loves going to Mel's too. Mel is the most amazing person. She loves the kids as if they were her own which is exactly what I wanted while I have to work.
My 2 year old is thriving in Mel's care, hitting milestones ahead of his time. He has formed amazing friendships there. Socially he is coming on leaps and bounds. Mel is very person centred, offering trips to a variety of local groups depending on what the children in her care like.
Mel offers a clean, safe, reliable service. I couldn't wish for better.
I'm not even bothering with nursery as the setting Mel provides is educational and fun with a more caring approach.
